Veggie Burger Deluxe!

I was having WAY too much fun making these delicious veggie burgers for my husband and I. Fresh veggies on top make it a sensation! It's a rare occasion that I opt for buns and I'm not sure why because MAN it makes one heck of a tasty difference. This patty is quick, simple and a true craving buster. I have you covered for Meatless Monday or any day you want a burger! Prep the potatoes, place them in the oven, prep the patty, while it's cooking prep the veggies and buns. Mix the fries, place the buns in the oven and toast until lightly brown or the vegan cheese is melted. Place the veggie patty on the bun, top with your favorite fresh vegetables and sauce and say thanks to the food gods for the delicious meal that is about to take place! Dig in!!!!

French Fries:

• 4-5 dutch potatoes
• salt and pepper to taste

Veggie Burger Deluxe:

• 1 package organic tempeh
• ½ red onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• Cilantro
• Red bell pepper
• 2 tbsp tamari sauce (or soy)
• 2 tbsp mustard
• 1 “egg” made of flax meal and warm water
• TJ’s African Spice or Red Pepper Flakes, black pepper
• Pinch of Pink Himalayan sea salt
• 1/2 tsp Ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp Fennel seed
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

​
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Put a sheet of parchment paper on a pan. Place potatoes on the pan and season with salt and pepper. (No oil required!) Cook until crisp about 30 minutes or so.
3. Meanwhile, place tempeh and balance of ingredients, less the last 3, in a food processor and pulse until well combined.
4. Preheat vegetable broth in a pan and place burgers into the pan, cook until heated throughout and slightly brown on each side.
5. While they are cooking, prep the toppings and buns. I used vegan cheese and earth balance butter for a divine experience.
6. Toss the fries, place the buns in the oven. Toast until golden brown and cheese is melted. Place veggie burger on the bun and top with fresh toppings! Enjoy!!
