Put the millet in a pan, cover with the water and bring to a boil. Cover and turn off the heat.

Leave for 15-20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.

Put the chickpeas, garlic, lemon and salt into a food processor and pulse until the chickpeas are broken down, but not completely smooth.

Add the sweet potato and pulse again until incorporated. Put into a bowl.

Add the cooked millet, oats, cumin, paprika and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until well mixed.

Shape the chickpea burger mixture into 6 patties and place on the baking tray.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp on the outside.
