I love that these burgers are gluten-free. They're a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

These burgers are a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. They're also a good source of protein and fiber.

I love these burgers! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve them with a side of roasted vegetables.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some more tahini sauce next time.

These Greek chickpea walnut burgers were a hit with my family! They were so flavorful and moist, and the tahini sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
