These are the best veggie burgers we’ve made. There’s no getting around the fact that veggie burgers take longer to make than regular hamburgers, but these vegetable-packed burgers are well worth it (trust us). The steps are easy, so stick with me. You can do this! I love serving them with spicy mayo or this burger sauce. We use our food processor to make these veggie burgers and highly recommend that you use one, too. If you only have a blender, you can use it to chop the veggies and other ingredients, but you will need to scrape the sides down a few more times (the food processor really is the better tool for this recipe).
