It's grill time out there again, and there should never be a shortage of veggie burgers! We recently entertained a group of friends who were not fond of beans/lentils, and that put me in a fix for a few minutes, because most of my veggie burger patties have some kind of bean or lentil base or addition. Finally I decided on using one my favorite veggie combinations - cauliflower and potato. We made spicy Cauli-tato patties and baked them. The cauliflower tends to make the patties mushy if kept for too long. Once prepped and baked, they get sturdy and can be easily used in multiple ways. Simply reheat on the grill or oven and serve. I served these with roasted peppers, sliced tomatoes and an option of guacamole or a chipotle habanero cashew cream sauce. For the Spicy Chipotle Cream sauce, blend 1/4 cup powdered raw cashews, 1/2+ cup water, 5-6 garlic cloves, 1/3 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 2+ teaspoons Chipotle Habanero Hot sauce or to taste. These patties can also be made gluten free by substituting oats for the bread crumbs.

- Shape patties, and coat with this Oat mix on both sides.
- Place patties on parchment lined baking sheet.

Richa’s recipes are always brilliant! Thank you for sharing this one…definitely will be trying it. Cheers!
How big are the patties that you made for this recipe, from the picture they look about the size of sliders. I’m just wondering if I’ll need to make a double batch.
Thanks!
Renata, They are about 3.5-4 inches to fit on baguette slices. So somewhat closer to sliders rather than a large burger.
