Directions:1. Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the squash, onion, ¼ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, and ¼ c. tap water. Cover and cook until squash is mostly softened, and water has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl lined with paper towels to drain. 2. Place chickpeas and egg whites in a blender or food processor, and process until mostly smooth. 3. Remove paper towels from bowl, and blot moisture from squash mixture. Roughly mash the squash. Add chickpea pureé, spinach, flour, black pepper, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. garlic powder. Stir thoroughly. 4. When squash mixture is cool enough to handle, form into 6 equal-sized patties, about ½ c. each. 5. Recoat skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook patties until firm and lightly browned, 3-4 minutes per side, turning gently. Top bottom halves of buns with a patty; , and add desired toppings. |
