Here’s how to make this deliciously tasty recipe, courtesy of Microplane.

You’ll need

2 red onions

1 tsp butter

1 tsp sugar

250g sweet potatoes

250g courgette

400g tin of chickpeas

1 egg

2 tbsp flour

3 tbsp breadcrumbs

½ bunch chives, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

Salt, pepper and smoked paprika spice!

Lettuce leaves

4 burger buns

1 tomato, sliced

Chipotle mayonnaise, to serve

Method

Cut red onions into thick rings, melt the butter with the sugar and brown the onions.

Peel the sweet potatoes and courgette, then grate both with the extra coarse blade.

Drain the chickpeas and crush half of them. Put everything together in a bowl.

Add the egg, flour, breadcrumbs, chives, garlic, salt, pepper and the smoked paprika spice in to the bowl. Mix everything together.

Form the burgers either with your hands or with a burger-shaper, rub a little oil on each side and cook them on the BBQ. Once cooked, remove from the BBQ on to kitchen roll.

Toast the burger buns on the BBQ or in the toaster. Assemble burgers: bread roll base, salad, burger, onions, tomato, mayonnaise and finally the bread roll lid on top.
