Freezer Friendly Vegan Veggie Burgers

Freezer Friendly Homemade Vegan Veggie Burgers {Grain free and soy free options}

Ingredients

Servings: 2 Servings

• 1 cup Chickpeas, canned, drained (or navy)

• 1 cup Vegetable mix, chopped (carrot, cauliflower, and broccoli)

• 1/4 cup Red onion (diced)

• 1/2 cup Sunflower seeds

• 1 tbsp Pine nuts, dried (or pumpkin seed)

• 2 tbsp Dill, fresh (or 1/2 tsp dried, can use herb of choice)

• 1/4 cup Basil, fresh (fresh)

• 2 tsp Flaxseeds (freshly ground)

• 1 tbsp Tamari, gluten free, reduced sodium (or coconut aminos for soy free option)

• 1 tsp Garlic (minced)

• 1/4 tsp Salt (kosher)

• 1/2 tsp Paprika, sweet (optional; or red pepper / cayenne)

• 1/4 cup Gluten free flour (1:1 or cassava flour, arrowroot or potato work)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375º F.

2. Place everything except the flour in a food processor or blender and blend until almost smooth. You can leave it a little chunky so that vegetable pieces still remain visible.

3. Next, add in a little of your flour (1/4 cup gluten-free flour) and pulse gently to mix. If the batter is too thin, add a little more flour. You want to make sure the batter can hold together. Form batter into a ball, wrap in plastic and let it chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. This is optional, but it helps hold better before baking.

4. Next, oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

5. Shape the veggie/nut mixture into 5-7 burger patties, about 1/2 inch thickness and width of the palm of your hand. Flatten and place on the baking sheet. The burgers will not expand so you can line them up close.

6. Bake about 15 minutes on one side, then GENTLY take a spatula and flip them to the other side.

7. Bake again another 10-12 minutes or so. Burgers will be a little golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges when they are finished.

8. Feel free to freeze them in foil or wax paper, but let them cool first before doing so. You may also freeze the uncooked burgers between wax paper to keep/store before cooking.
