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!
In a food processor combine: rice, lentils, sunflower seeds, onion, garlic & spices. Process well. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Then add: egg (or flax egg*), oats, and oil. Mix & mash with a spatula until all is relatively smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Remove from fridge and shape into patties (this should make 4 burger-sized patties).
Heat a greased skillet on med-high heat & cook patties until browned, about 5 minutes each side.
These are great on their own, served on a bed of greens or burger-style on any gluten free bread of your choice!
Enjoy!
Notes
To make a flax egg: combine 1 tbs of ground flax seed w/ 3 tbs of water and let sit for 10 minutes or until beginning to thicken–add to recipe as you would any egg.This recipe is also featured in my cookbook, The Vegetarian Family Cookbook.
