instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
burger:
Combine the mushrooms, onion, olive oil, (garlic powder & thyme), salt & pepper in a large bowl. Then, spread mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Put in oven and cook for about 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
​
Using a food processor, blend cooked mushrooms & onions, and chickpeas until smooth. Remove mixture into the large bowl previously used, add the barley and flour (or breadcrumbs, if using), and add more flour & seasonings, as needed.
​
Spray the baking sheet used previously. Shape mixture into four burger patties and place on baking sheet. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until burgers are firm and golden, flipping patties half way.
