Class 1: Spiced Lentil Burgers
These are one of my most popular burgers. They’re loaded with flavor, and I’ll show you how to make them with the perfect texture. They work perfectly on their own atop a bed of greens, or on a bun with all the fixings. |
Class 2: Falafel Burgers
These burgers are based on chickpeas, which have a perfect texture for burgers. I’ll show you the right ratio of ingredients to put together to make perfect burgers every time – plus some tips on saving time. |
Class 3: Spicy Black Bean Burgers
These burgers have so much flavor and nutrition on their own that they can stand alone as a meal. I usually pair them with a salad, and they remind me of chili in burger form. |
Recipe Videos
Herbed Buckwheat Burgers
Using toasted buckwheat gives these burgers a savory base for the herbs and other flavors added to them. |
Maple Dijon Burgers
Maple syrup, dijon mustard, and ground sage combine with a roasted red pepper for a truly WOW experience in your mouth. |
Hearty Mushroom Burgers
Mushrooms make for a hearty burger base and texture. |
Easy Portobello Burgers
This is the easiest ever burger idea – and works on a BBQ grill for summer meals! |
Beet Red Burgers
These burgers actually look quite realistically like hamburger meat (which may be a bit off-putting for some vegans) and once they’re cooked they taste spectacular! |
Sweet Potato Patties
These are a veganized version of the salmon patties my mom used to make when I was little. These ones are sweet, warm, and delicious. |
Potato & Kale Burgers
These little burgers are a vegan take on bubble and squeak patties, and are fantastic for dinner or brunch. |
Assignment
What I want to see this month is how you put your burger together as a meal – whether it’s on a bun, on a salad, made into meatballs and put in a wrap, made into a loaf… There are lots of possibilities, and I give some suggestions with the recipes. How do you make them as yummerific as possible? You can submit one of these recipes, or any other healthy vegan burger of your choice.
Then snap a shot and submit it to the Facebook group! You can also submit any of the burgers you made this month – I’d love to see how you’re doing with them!
