Savory Veggie Burgers - Top 8 Free

This post was sponsored by Sunbutter Sunflower Butter

Savory, filling, and simple to prepare. My veggie burgers are a great idea for easy meal prep, which is so important now that many families are cooking all three meals at home while balancing work and home schooling. This is not a “beyond meat” type of veggie burger in the sense that it doesn’t taste like meat or have a red interior that mimics meat. It tastes like delicious black beans, herbs, and Sunbutter! The Sunbutter adds a nice extra hit of protein and flavor. Fry the patties up in a hot non-stick pan for a crispy outer crust that’s absolutely divine.

In this post I have served two patties on a homemade allergy-safe bun, with some fried mushrooms (I used the same pan that I fried the burgers in), aa few leaves of cilantro, and a drizzle of Sunbutter. However you can serve them so many different ways. With a salad, wrapped in a lettuce or chard leaf, side of roasted oven fries, on an allergy-safe English muffin for breakfast, whatever your taste buds are craving.

For meal prep, let the patties cool down, then wrap individually and either refrigerate or freeze. To heat up, place on a sheet pan and bake in the oven or toaster oven at 375F for 5 - 8 minutes or until hot.

How to make Savory Veggie Burgers - Top 8 Free

1. Add the garlic, lemon juice, Sunbutter, cilantro, green onion, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and ginger to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the beans, ensuring they have been well washed and drained, and pulse until smooth. Add the oat flour and pulse until the oat flour is absorbed.

2. Scoop the burger dough out into a bowl. Moisten your fingertips to prevent the from sticking. Divide into 6 equal portions, then roll each one into a mound in your hands and flatten out to a 1/2 inch thick disc. If preparing them ahead of time, dust with oat flour to prevent from sticking.

3. Heat 2 tsp of avocado oil in a non-stick pan. Add the patties 2 at a time to prevent overcrowding. Fry on medium-high heat for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

4. Serve on your favorite allergy safe bun or bread, or wrapped up in a lettuce leaf, or with your desired allergy-safe condiments. I added a drizzle of Sunbutter, some fresh cilantro, and sauteed mushrooms.
