DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl add chickpeas, mash with a fork or masher until it becomes a chunky paste. Then add egg, breadcrumbs, green onion, and seasonings. Fold all ingredients until thoroughly combined (add 1-2 Tbsp flour, if mixture is too wet). Let mixture sit for 5 minutes. Make Creamy Ranch Sauce.
Creamy Ranch Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, add all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Set aside in the refrigerator for later.
Measure out ¼ cup of chickpea mixture and form into ½-inch thick patties.
Heat 2-3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium high. Place patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side –about 4-5 minutes per side.
Place a cooked Chick’n patty on a whole wheat bun. Top with Creamy Ranch Sauce and other Optional Toppings if desired.
