Cauliflower Burgers Recipe
Report
These meatless cauliflower burgers are a hearty vegetarian burger you can enjoy year-round. Cauliflower and quinoa patties are pan-seared until crispy, then tucked into a bun with creamy zucchini coleslaw, ranch dressing, and peppery arugula. You can easily make them ahead of time, and the leftovers taste great for lunch the next day!

Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower about 2 lb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 cup panko sub gluten-free, if needed
- ¾ cup ranch dressing
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- oil for cooking
Zucchini Coleslaw
- 1 medium zucchini
- ½ cup finely shredded purple cabbage use your mandolin if you have one
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- black pepper to taste
Burger Toppings
- Buns
- ranch dressing
- Arugula or spinach
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the cauliflower into florets, place them on the baking sheet, and drizzle with the oil. Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway, until the cauliflower is soft. Let stand to cool for a few minutes.
- In a small pot over high heat bring the quinoa and 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the quinoa is soft. Remove the lid and set it aside.
- When the cauliflower is cooked and has cooled slightly, add it to your food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl.
- Add all the other cauliflower burger ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Form into 12 patties, a generous ½ cup each. Place the patties on the baking sheet you used to cook the cauliflower. (fewer dishes!) and chill in your fridge for 30 minutes.
- Either spiral the zucchini using your spiralizer or slice it into very thin rounds. Toss the zucchini with the cabbage and ranch dressing.
- Heat a splash of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half the burger patties and pan fry until golden on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining burger patties.
- Generously spread your burger buns with ranch dressing and then stack them with a burger patty, some arugula, and top with the zucchini slaw.
