Using a large ice cream scoop or hands, form the mixture into patties using 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Legumes Thoroughly 💧Pat cooked chickpeas and lentils completely dry with paper towels before mashing to prevent soggy burgers that fall apart during cooking.
- Chill the Mixture Before Forming 🧊Refrigerate the burger mixture for at least 30 minutes so the oats fully absorb moisture and the patties hold together much better on the griddle.
- Toast Your Spices First 🌶️Bloom the smoked paprika and chili powder in the oil before mixing with other ingredients to amplify their depth and create a richer flavor profile.
- Use a Burger Press for Consistency 🍔Invest in a burger press or use a sturdy spatula to compress patties evenly, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent cooking and professional-looking results.
- Make Avocado Sauce Last-Minute ⏰Prepare the avocado yogurt sauce just before serving to prevent browning and maintain its vibrant green color and fresh, creamy texture.
