When done right, veggie burgers are fantastic. There are a few ways to cook veggie burgers that I absolutely love, and some that are not so much my favorites. These veggie burgers top my must-eat list for those hot summer nights when a backyard barbecue sounds like perfection. Try adding some liquid smoke to any of these recipes to seriously kick-up that delicious grill taste! To make these healthy burger options even healthier, you can always swap out the bun for an English muffin, pita bread, or lettuce. Trust me, it will taste so good, you won't even miss the extra calories!
Mediterranean Burgers
This Eating Well recipe looks fantastic and the ingredients list does not take learning a second language. Yes, the burgers take a bit longer to make than your average hunk of meat put into a ball, but these are much healthier for you. If you are having a problem keeping them together, try adding a little cooked quinoa. Both millet and quinoa work as a type of veggie burger glue to keep it all together.
