Peel and dice the celery root into small cubes.

Boil the celery root in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the celery root and let it cool slightly.

In a large bowl, mash the celery root until smooth.

Add harissa, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Mix until well combined and form into burger patties.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Alternatively, grill the patties on medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side.

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

Assemble the burger by placing a patty on each bun and adding lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
