Filled with a savoury taste – perfect for BBQ season and enjoying burgers with friends. Not only are they soft on the inside but they are wonderfully crispy on the outside. 

I love the idea of changing burgers, meat based to a healthy vegetarian meal. Not only does roasted red pepper chickpea burgers taste amazing but its a wonderful healthy meat alternative.
