🍔 June 5th marks National Veggie Burger Day, a perfect occasion to celebrate and enjoy delicious, plant-based burgers that are both nutritious and satisfying.
Veggie burgers are a fantastic way to enjoy all the flavors and textures of a traditional burger without the meat. Today, we’re upgrading the traditional veggie burger with a recipe that makes them just better.®! 😉
Why Veggie Burgers?
Veggie burgers are a flavorful and nutrient-dense option that can be tailored to suit any palate. Packed with veggies, legumes, grains, and spices, they offer a rich source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Veggie burgers are also lower in saturated fats, which contributes to better heart and gut health and healthy weight management.
By adding just better.® Prebiotic Fiber to our veggie burger recipe, we’re boosting the nutritional profile even further, promoting a healthy gut microbiome, and making it easier to reach your high-fiber goals! 💪💚
🍔 just better.® Veggie Burger
Ingredients:
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup oat flour**
4 Tablespoons just better.® Prebiotic Fiber
2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon soy or tamari sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Avocado oil for cooking
Directions:
This recipe makes about 6 to 8 veggie burgers, depending on the size of the patties.
Mix the ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax "egg."
In a large bowl, mash the black beans and chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, onion, carrot, garlic, oat flour, just better.® Prebiotic Fiber, and flax "egg" to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Add the avocado oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties (about 6-8, depending on size).
Heat a drizzle of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties on each side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and heated through.
Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium-high and cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side.
**If you do not have oat flour at home, simply add a half cup of rolled oats to your blender and blend to a powder—or use a flour of your choice.
Serving Suggestions:
Classic Style: Serve your just better.® Veggie Burger on a whole grain bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and avocado. Add a dollop of your favorite condiment, such as ketchup, mustard, or vegan mayo.
Southwest Flair: Top your burger with sliced jalapeños, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with a side salad for a zesty, festive meal.
Mediterranean Twist: Add roasted red peppers, feta cheese (or a vegan alternative), and tzatziki sauce. Pair with a Greek salad on the side.
