“Homemade veggie burgers that are packed with vegetables; hearty, flavorful and taste like a burger, it’s an amazing healthy substitute for meat burgers!”

You might be wondering what the taste of a veggie burger is. Well, they are delicious and can really compete with other meat burgers. These homemade veggie burgers are tasty, high in fiber, and low in calories. They are loaded with vegetables that can satisfy your palate without making you feel guilty about breaking your diet.

The color of these veggie patties was dark because of the black beans and the beetroot combination. But I tell you that it is more “meaty” due to the texture of all the vegetables that are in the patties.

You can make this ahead of time.  Once you make the burger mixture, you can keep it in the fridge for 24 hours. Or you can form the patties, cook them and freeze for up to three months.

Tips in making these veggie patties

Use a food processor to chop the vegetables so they would look like coarse crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a chopper to do the job.

When using a food processor, watch out for over processing the mixture. Your patties will become ground and will not give you the desired “meaty” results.

It is better to flip the burger patties after 15 minutes to make the other side cook through. Just be careful when flipping them as they are still vegetable burgers after all. It is best to use a soft touch when moving them around or flipping.

You can also fry the patties first for 2-3 minutes on each side before baking them so they can absorb some oil. This oil will help the patties to cook evenly and it will make your patties tastier.

Make sure that the patties are cooked through on the inside. You will not experience satisfaction if not fully cooked.

Try making these veggie burgers for your family; it’s a healthy way to eat burgers with the entire family. Happy tummy!

• 200 grams mushrooms, roughly chopped
• 1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
• 100 grams broccoli florets, roughly chopped
• 1 medium onion, quartered
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for baking
• ½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne powder or chili powder

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 450 grams (1 can) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 100 grams beet root, cooked and chopped
• 30 grams walnuts
• ½ cup quick or rolled oats
• handful of freshly chopped parsley or cilantro
• 60 grams spinach
• 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch
• 1-2 pieces bread, cut into small squares

Veggie Burger:

• 6 pieces burger buns
• 6 tablespoons — or more mayonnaise — or any other sauces preferred
• 6 pieces iceberg lettuce or any lettuce of your choice
• 1 medium onion, cut into rings
• 1 large tomato, cut into circles
• 6 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 6 tablespoons — or more banana or tomato ketchup — optional

Instructions

 

To make the burger patties:

• Preheat oven to 400 °F/ 200 °C. Line the baking pan with foil and baking sheets.
• In a food processor, combine the mushrooms, carrots and broccoli florets. Pulse until coarsely ground, around 1 minute.
• Add the onion, garlic, olive oil, cayenne powder, salt and ground black pepper. Process until all ingredients are well combined.
• Transfer the ground vegetables into a lined baking pan. Spread into thin layer that covers the entire baking sheet. Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
• While the vegetables are roasting, clean and pat dry the food processor. Place the black beans, beetroot and walnuts into the food processor and pulse until coarsely grounded.
• Then add the oats, parsley and spinach and process until they are about the size of breadcrumbs. Toss the tapioca starch and cut breads into the bowl and pulse for about 2 minutes or until well incorporated. Note: If you have a large food processor that can fit all the ingredients, you can process them altogether at the same time.
• Remove the roasted vegetables in the oven and cool slightly. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and put the black beans mixture. Mix until fully combined.
• Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, and form into a ½-inch thick patty in the prepared baking pan lined with baking sheet.
• Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil into the patties and cook in the oven at 350 °F/ 180 °C for 30 minutes. Flip to another side after 15 minutes. Be careful when flipping so they stay together, they are a bit soft and fragile.
• Alternatively, you can fry the burger patties for around 2-3 minutes on each side and tossing it to the oven for 20 minutes. Let the burger patties cool down a bit before assembling the burger.

To assemble the veggie burger:

• Place burger bun in a plate, then put mayonnaise, lettuce, onion rings, burger patty, tomato, cheese slice and ketchup (optional). You can use your favorite sauces or put extra vegetables in your burger.
