How to Make Almond Burgers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup blanched almonds (finely chopped), 1/4 cup tahini, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup grated carrot.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons tamari and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  4. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons tamari and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, if needed, until the mixture is moist enough to hold its shape but not overly wet. Add 1-2 tablespoons water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Gently shape the mixture into 6 patties.
  6. Lightly grease a baking sheet and arrange the patties on it.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately in pita pockets with lettuce, cucumber, and your favorite raita or chutney.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
