Air-Fryer Chickpea and Red Onion Burgers

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
When chilly days arrive and we retire the grill to the garage, I bake a batch of air-fryer chickpea burgers. Even die-hard meat eaters can't resist them. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ or dry bread crumbs

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 6 sesame seed hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • 6 lettuce leaves
