Chickpea burgers

Ingredients
14 ounce can chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained
1 cup brown rice, cooked
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, diced
1/4 of a red onion, diced
8-10 baby carrots, chopped or grated
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
3 tbsp spicy barbecue sauce
Red pepper flakes, to taste
3 tablespoons flaxseed
1/4 cup bread crumbs
flour, as needed

Directions

• Use a food processor to pulse the chickpeas until they are almost smooth. Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and add the rice immediately after it is done cooking, while it is still hot. Mix the chickpeas and rice together.
• Add the vegetables, barbecue sauce, and red pepper flakes to the chickpeas and rice. Mix well. 
• Mix in the flaxseed and bread crumbs. Shape the mixture into patties. If the patties aren't forming well, add some flour to the mixture and repeat.
• Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the patties. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to brown, then flip and repeat with the other side. For a healthier option when you have more time, you can grill the patties.
