    Placing these in the oven for 10 minutes transforms these from good sandwiches to GREAT sandwiches. All the flavors combine so nicely and the garlic and pepper give it just a little bite. These are definitely in my top 10 sandwiches !

    When you’re in the mood for a spicy patty on a bun try a veggie patty instead of meat once in a while. Black bean burgers have always been a favorite of mine – now I have an alternate….garbanzo burgers. At only 56 calories, add a 100 calorie bun and have two :)

    Garbanzo Burgers

    Garbanzo Burgers

    4 servings
    56 calories per serving

    1 15 oz. can garbanzo beans (also called chick peas or cece beans), rinsed and drained
    1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
    1 carrot, grated
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 red chile pepper, seeded and minced
    2 T chopped cilantro
    1 T tahini paste (a sesame seed paste much like peanut butter is a peanut paste)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Pam

    Place garbanzos, peppers, carrots, garlic, red chile pepper, cilantro, tahini, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until ingredients are mixed evenly. If the mix is too dry, add a few drops of water. Refrigerate the mix 1.2 hour or more.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam. Make 4 burgers out of the bean mix and place on sheet. Bake 20 minutes, flip and cook another 10 minutes. You can also fry these in a medium skillet sprayed with Pam.

    This is a great, hearty sandwich that fills you up and contains no high calorie meat. Sometimes when you get these in a restaurant, they have the same calorie content as having a burger (sometimes they are done in tons of oil or butter). But this version keeps the oil to a minimum and adds a nice amount of cheesy goodness to the sandwich.

    Portobello Burger

    Portobello Burger

    1 serving
    299 calories per serving

    1 large portobello mushroom cap, stem removed
    1 t oil

    ¼ c shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
    1 100 calorie Arnold Select Sandwich Thins bun
    1 t buttery spread
    Garlic powder to taste
    1 large onion slice
    1 large tomato slice
    Lettuce leaves
    Pam

    Coat mushroom with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cayenne. Spray skillet and heat to medium high. Place mushroom in the pan rounded side up. Cook 5 minutes. Flip. Sprinkle with garlic powder, top with cheese and cook another 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, toast bun and spread butter on it. Place mushroom on bun and top with tomato, onion and lettuce.
