Garden Veggie Burger Recipe

Prepare the Flax Egg

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Mix the Veggies

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, black beans, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mash the black beans slightly to help bind the mixture.

Add Seasonings

Stir in the flax egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.

Cook the Patties

Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Toast the Buns

While the patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns until golden.

Assemble the Burgers

Place each veggie patty on a toasted bun and add lettuce and tomato slices on top. Serve warm.
