Instructions

  1. Add the flaxseed meal to a small bowl. Add water and mix well. Set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  2. In a larger bowl, combine all the ingredients to form the veggie burger mixture, including your flaxseed meal mixture. If it’s too dry (depending on which veggies you’re using, you can add a TINY dash of water. You don’t want it to be too wet. If it is too wet and you cannot easily form patties, add a little bit of flour until you are happy with your mixture. Using a ¼ cup scoop, add your mixture and form your veggie burger patties into 6 to 8 burgers.
  3. In a skillet heated over medium heat, add a drop of cooking oil/spray and cook veggie burgers until each side is golden brown. It should be around 3 minutes per side.
  4. Optionally, place the finished veggie burger on your favorite toasted bun and load on the toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, hot sauce, etc.).

Notes

  • To enhance the flavor: Sauté the vegetables first until lightly caramelized and tender.
  • Shred the veggies finely: Pulsing them in a food processor (or using a shredding disk) works wonderfully to get the job done in seconds. Alternatively, finely mince them by hand.
  • Adjust the size: Make veggie quinoa fritters, nuggets, small patties, or burgers from this one versatile recipe.
  • Pack the mixture tightly: When shaping the garbanzo bean burgers, squeeze firmly to pack the dough so it doesn’t fall apart while cooking. Wetting your hands can also help with the shaping process.
