I’ve met my [veggie burger] soul mate. They’re firm. They flavorful. They’re healthy. They’re carnivore-approved. They’re vegan. They’re easily gluten-free. They don’t fall apart. Basically they make your dreams come true. There’s a few different kinds of veg burgs. There’s the ones that are super easy where you skip the onions and fresh herbs and opt for a few simple ingredients and spices, like these Easy Black Bean Burgers. Then there’s the more elaborate ones where you have to whip out your thirty pound food processor (UGH) and sauté a bunch of stuff and then they don’t even stick together. Then there’s recipes like these Tomato Basil Veggie Burgers that may not have the shortest ingredient list on earth but that really do have a stellar flavor, crisp exterior and not super mushy interior. The best part is that they won’t fall apart AND you don’t need a food processor. Sounds like a win to me! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, GOOGLE? I brought these burgs to a cookout with my Strawberry Coconut Kale Salad (sub walnuts for almonds) and Skinny Summer Berry Crisp (super old recipe but SO good) and everyone was very happy and full! Especially the dog who ate the last two veggie burgers. I couldn’t even be mad about it.
