Zucchini Burgers with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli
Author: Amanda, @Shermgetsinshape
Serves: 8 burgers
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 small zucchini)
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 15oz can garbonzo beans
- ¼ cup yellow onion (about 1 small onion)
- ½ yellow bell pepper
- ½ roasted red pepper (jarred in water)
- 1 whole egg
- ½ cup light mozzarella
- Seasonings of your preference (I used 1 tsp McCormik Perfect Pinch Rotisserie Chicken seasoning - trust me on this one!)
- Red pepper aioli (recipe in notes)
Instructions
- Grate 2 small zucchini and strain. Remove as much excess water as possible. This is key!
- Drain garbonzo beans and puree in a food processor or blender.
- Dice the onion and peppers.
- Combine garbonzo bean puree, onion, peppers, seasoning, light mozzarella, and egg. Mix until smooth.
- Add in ½ cup of breadcrumbs and ½ cup of panko and mix until all dry spots are gone.
- Divide mixture into 8 even patties.
- Heat your pan over medium heat, spray, then add your patties. Cook about 4 minutes on each side, or until you have reached the golden brown sear you are looking for.
- Serve with a light bun and a dollop of roasted red pepper aioli.
