The Best Vegan Burger Recipe

Making homemade veggie burgers can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple!

This easy recipe is full of healthy and delicious ingredients such as beans, rice, quinoa, red peppers, red onions, flaxseed, cilantro, breadcrumbs and spices

This veggie burger is full of flavor and is very basic to make, even if you’ve never made a veggie burger from scratch before, you’ll have no problem whipping these up.

Easy and Healthy Homemade Veggie Burgers

The most important part of making a veggie burger, besides taste of course, is the texture and how well it holds together.

You certainly don’t want it to be crumbly, but it still needs to be tender enough to bite into.

Egg is usually the trick, but for a vegan burger I used a simple flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tbsp water and allow to sit for 5 minutes) and it held together perfectly!

It was sturdy, well formed, and the perfect balance of tender and dense.

When the weather warms up, it’s great to have a recipe like this to whip together for cookouts and parties, or even just for dinner!

Add all of your favorite toppings – I love arugula, tomato, red onion, and Hunt’s Best Ever Ketchup.

How to Make Simple Meatless Burgers

To make these easy veggie burgers, start by cooking your rice and quinoa according to their packages.

Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and begin adding all of the burger ingredients to a large bowl.

Using a potato masher, squish everything down so it combines easily. I used my hands after this to further incorporate all of the flavors and spices evenly!

Take roughly 1/2 cup amounts of mixture and form into patties with your hands, roughly 1/2 inch thick. Place on a baking tray covered with parchment paper and ensure none of them are touching.

You can also cook your red pepper and onion before adding to the mix, but I found them to cook fine in the oven, they just had a tiny bit of crunch which I liked!

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping half way through, until they are browned on top and not squishy with you (carefully) press down on them.

Allow them to cool and then assemble your burger!

Pretzel buns are also the best buns you can buy (in my opinion), and I would highly recommend serving these burgers on them – just make sure they are vegan if you are!

 

It’s super important to me to use all natural ingredients. I used Hunt’s Best Ever Ketchup to top this burger because it’s free of corn syrup, and it’s Hunt’s thickest, richest, best ever Ketchup – you can easily order this online via Walmart’s Online Grocery Service!

Easy Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

To make the sweet potato fries, cut 1-3 sweet potatoes (I used purple!) into long rectangles and place in a bowl.

Pour in 1-3 tablespoons of oil (depending on how many sweet potatoes you use, just make sure they’re all coated) and salt to taste and mix well.

I don’t like to add a lot of seasonings to sweet potato fries because they’re perfect as they are!

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping half way through and checking often to make sure they are not burning.

I always love using sweet potatoes for my fries, not only are they more nutritious but they are a great way to switch things up as a delicious side!

I also love how they compliment this burger with a sweet taste to the savory main dish! Fries inspired by Minimalist Baker!
