These delicious gluten-free veggie burgers are made with a combination of rice, lentils, sunflower seeds, and the perfect blend of spices. Perfectly crispy and delicious, this is definitely The Best Veggie Burger Recipe! This recipe is also featured in my cookbook, The Vegetarian Family Cookbook.
When I threw these veggie burgers together, I admittedly didn’t expect the textures & flavors to turn out as well as they did. I was beyond pleasantly surprised–these burgers are a real keeper!
My inspiration for these came from wanting to incorporate more legumes into my little one’s diet. And, boy was I happy that he loved these as much as I did!
These delightful vegetarian patties are chock full of protein & fiber, hold together & cook incredibly well, and truly taste great just about any way you choose to eat them! Serve alongside Healthy Coleslaw, and you have a meal. Enjoy!
