Vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly veggie burger patties with a nutty taste.
I came up with this recipe when I had a hard time finding any recipes for veggie burgers or patties that were grain-free and bean-free, and which actually contained vegetables. Both my husband and I love it. He had his on a burger bun with lettuce, avocado, and tomato.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup 1/2-inch butternut squash cubes
- ½ cup chopped cauliflower
- ½ cup chopped broccoli
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ¼ cup raw almonds
- ¼ cup raw sunflower seed kernels
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add butternut squash cubes, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer squash to a bowl and mash; measure 1/2 cup mashed squash and reserve.
Step 2
Place the steamer insert back into the saucepan and refill with water to reach just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower and broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Process walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds together in a blender or food processor until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add broccoli and cauliflower, blend until finely chopped and incorporated.
Step 4
Blend 1/2 cup mashed squash, salt, cumin, and black pepper into the nuts mixture until well-mixed. If mixture is too thick to process, transfer it to a bowl and mix by hand.
Step 5
Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
Step 6
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot oil until browned and heated through, about 2 minutes per side.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use any combination of desired nuts and seeds to equal 1 cup.
