With Father's Day coming up, I wanted to share 15 mouthwatering veggie burger recipes. After all, burgers are quintessential "dude food" and essential summer fare. A few of these veggie burgers are from my blog, and the rest are shared with permission from my blogger friends. These are no sissy veggie burgers, these hearty sandwiches are "meaty" enough for any carnivore.
There's nothing quite as satisfying as a big juicy burger. My requirements are as follows: warm bun, hearty patty, lots of fresh toppings with something crunchy, and tangy condiments. There are many ways to make a veggie burger. Before I moved to a more plant-based way of cooking and eating I was taught that veggie burgers were low in protein and made of unhealthy, processed ingredients. I also thought that the only way veggie burgers were made was with processed soy. When I delved deeper into the world of veggie burgers, I found I was so wrong. As you'll see with the veggie burgers below, many veggie burgers are made with nourishing, wholesome, hearty ingredients like beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, quinoa and vegetables. Those are some of my favorite ingredients and they can make some seriously delicious burgers! When you treat Dad (or yourself!) to one of these veggie burgers, you can know you're doing something that's better for our bodies, animals, and the earth. And dare I say... even more delicious.
