West Coast Veggie Burgers

20 min

4 servings

With a few simple, easy-to-find ingredients, you can make your own veggie burgers at home. Much more affordable than buying pre-made at the store and, dare we say, tastier too!

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread, your choice
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 ml) no salt added chickpeas
  • 1⁄4 cup natural peanut butter or seed butter
  • 2 tbsp West Coast Burger Seasoning
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 4 buns

Preparation

  1. Cut off and discard crusts from bread. Tear bread into small pieces. Grate zucchini; you should have about 2 cups. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in a food processor; add peanut butter and seasoning. Pulse until mixture is well mixed, but still has a few chunky pieces and starts to come together; form into four patties.
  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick fry pan over high heat. Add patties; reduce heat to medium and fry 5 min per side, or until crisp and brown on the outside and warmed through. Add more oil, if needed.
  3. Tuck patties into buns and add toppings, if desired.

Tips

Prep patties ahead of time so the flavours can blend. Refrigerate up to 3 days before cooking.

Be gentle when flipping patties over—while they hold together, they squish easily.
