A delicious veggie burger that's made with tempeh and holds together so well you can cook it on the grill! Added bonus, it’s packed with plant-based protein.

Instructions
- Cut block of tempeh into 4-6 pieces and place in a pot with water and a steamer basket. Steam for about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with ½ Tablespoon olive oil. Once oil is warm add the onion and carrots into the skillet and cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
- Put the cooked onion and carrot mixture into a food processor with the steamed tempeh, nutritional yeast, oat flour, flaxseed, balsamic vinegar, tamari, coconut sugar, garlic powder, chili powder and paprika.
- Pulse until everything is chopped and combined — just don’t over-process the mixture because you want the burgers to have a little texture.
- Transfer the tempeh mixture into a large bowl and let chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Once chilled, form mixture into 2-3 patties. Heat grill to medium heat. Spray grate with nonstick spray and add the patties. Cook each side until browned, about 6-7 minutes total.
- Put the burgers on a bun and serve with condiments of your choice. I used spicy mustard, onions, lettuce and ketchup.
