BBQ Veggie Burgers

Out of all of my recipes, I enjoy making veggie burgers the best, and vegan pizzas are a close second place. I am so happy to see that more and more stores are carrying a variety of plant based burgers. I am also seeing restaurants starting to add them to the menu. Times are changing! It's fun eating out and trying out the latest veggie burger, but my favorite by far is homemade.

Usually around the spring and summer holidays I hear conversations about grilling out and burgers and what not. People excitedly talk about what they are putting on the grill, and that is when I mention veggie burgers. I am amazed at the comments, and people often ask for recommendations. When I tell them I make my own, they genuinely ask, "Well, how do you do that?" I share my recipe, and a day or two later I get a message where someone excitedly tells me that the veggie burgers were a hit and tasted better than meat burgers.

I love hearing these reports, and it is encouraging to be able to let people know that they can add plant based options to the menu. It's another seed planted. These burgers are a variation of my original sweet potato black bean burger recipe.

This is a quick and easy veggie burger recipe packed with protein, fiber, and an abundance of flavor. You just add all of the ingredients to one bowl, form your burgers, and grill away!

​Thick, juicy, protein-packed and only nine ingredients to make.
