Ingredients
Vegan patties
- 1.5 cups legumes chickpeas, black beans, white beans, etc.
- 1 cup grains oats, cooked rice, cooked quinoa, etc.
- 1.5 cups chopped veggies beets, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc.
- ½ cup add-ins & flavorings nuts, onion, garlic, fresh herbs, etc.
For the Burgers
- Vegan buns
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayo
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Grilled veggies
- Avocado
- Sweet potato fries
Instructions
- Sauté onion, garlic and vegetables for around 5-8 minutes or until soft in a skillet using soy sauce, vegetable broth or oil.
- Add your cooked & drained legumes, grains and sautéd vegetables into a food processor jar.
- Pulse a few times to combine, add all herbs and spices, then pulse again without overdoing it.
- Adjust everything to your taste preference, then press the mixture between your fingers to ensure it has the right texture.
- If it’s too crumbly, add some water. If it’s too wet, add more of the dry ingredients you used.
- Form plant-based patties with your hands and place them next to each other on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for 15 minutes, flip over and bake for another 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can fry the patties in oil using a skillet — this will only take 3-5 minutes for each side.
- Serve warm on your favorite bun alongside your favorite vegan burger fixings!
Notes
- Be sure to use lots of spices like smoked paprika or tamari to make your vegan burgers really savory and bring out those umami flavors.
- You can make Indian or Thai-flavored patties, add some pesto or crushed chips for added texture — the sky’s truly the limit here!
- Vegan burger patties can also be frozen uncooked or once they are cooled after cooking in a freezer bag. Reheat in the oven.
