Easy BBQ Veggie Burger Recipe

Step 1

In a frying pan, sauté the shredded carrot and chopped onion with a pinch of salt until softened.

Step 2

Add in the minced garlic, cumin and chopped walnuts and saute a few more minutes.

Step 3

Pour the carrot and walnut mixture into a large mixing bowl and add in the remaining ingredients, from the kidney beans to the salt and pepper.

Step 4

Using a potato masher, mash all of the ingredients together until a sticky "dough" forms and everything is mostly combined. It's okay if you can see some whole beans or parts of beans in the mixture.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a baking try with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Take handfuls of the veggie burger "dough" and form it into patties about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1/2 an inch high. Continue this process until all of the dough has been molded into patties. I usually get about 8 burgers total.

Step 6

Place the burgers onto your lined baking tray and spread the tops of the burgers with another tablespoon of BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Bake the burgers for 20 minutes. Remove the burgers from the oven, flip them over and top the other side with another tablespoon of BBQ sauce. Place the burgers back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and fairly sturdy.

Step 8

Enjoy the burgers on you favorite hamburger buns with all your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, more BBQ sauce, Homemade Ketchup, mashed avocado, etc.
