How to Prepare Crispy Garden Quinoa Burgers [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add all burger ingredients to a high speed blender and pulse until well combined. You want it to be well mixed and the diced veg broken down, but not completely puréed.
  3. Form mixture into 4-6 large patties (~1/2 cup) or 8-12 smaller sliders (~1/4 cup).
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, carefully flipping once halfway, until quinoa is crispy and golden brown on the outside.
  5. Serve immediately, or pan-cook for an additional 5-10 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. To pan-cook, burgers, preheat pan over medium-high heat with a bit of avocado oil (skip this step if oil-free). Add baked quinoa burgers to the pan and heat for 5 minutes on each side, until crispy and brown. Serve immediately.
  7. Store leftover quinoa burgers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes or on a pan with avocado oil for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Freeze burgers for longterm storage for 2-3 months.
