Preparation Steps
1
Slice the eggplant into 1 cm thick rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out any bitterness.
2
Combine the chickpea flour with water, mixing until you have a thick batter, similar to pancake batter.
3
Rinse the eggplant slices, then dip them first in the chickpea flour batter, followed by the breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully coated.
4
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides.
5
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, and prepare the lettuce leaves.
6
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or oven.
7
Assemble the burgers: spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then add a lettuce leaf, an eggplant slice, tomato slices, and another eggplant slice. Top with the other half of the bun.
8
Serve the assembled eggplant burgers immediately with your favorite side dish, such as french fries or a fresh salad.
