I love a good homemade veggie burger.
They're in a world of their own and live on a different planet from the cardboard discs found in supermarkets.
I've put together a montage of some of the most droolworthy veggie and vegan burgers around the web for you to try with my smutty sweet chilli jam.
Tuck in!
My Top 10 Veggie and Vegan Burgers from around the Web
1. Curried Veggie Burgers
by A Pinch of Yum
Lentil, chickpea and rice burgers, spiced with curry powder and topped with chopped mango, fresh coriander (cilantro) and a drizzle of plain yoghurt all inside a bun. So, so good!
(vegetarian and vegan (omit the yoghurt dressing for a vegan burger)
2. Easy Chickpea and Coriander Patties
by Tinned Tomatoes
These simple chickpea burgers are whizzed up in a food processor with spices, then shaped by hand before cooking. Simples!
(vegetarian and vegan)
3. Smokey BBQ Lentil Veggie Burger with Mango Carrot Slaw
by Vegan Richa
The most amazing lentil burger filled with spices and seeds, then topped with mango carrot slaw and salad. Slurp!!
(vegetarian and vegan)
4. Crispy Eggplant Sandwiches with Roasted Garlic Ricotta Spread
by Katie at the Kitchen Door
These aren't veggie burgers in the strictest sense of the word, but you are going to crave them. Crispy breadcrumbed slices of succulcent aubergine (eggplant), stacked in a bun with rocket (arugula), tomato sauce and homemade ricotta. Oh my!
(vegetarian)
5.Roasted Beet-Tofu Burgers
by FatFree Vegan
I've featured these before in my Top 10 BBQ Veggie Burgers post over at Baby Centre, but they are so good they are worth another plug. Spiced beetroot and tofu burgers on salad leaves, topped with a glorious chipotle aioli and a slice of ripe tomato.
(vegetarian and vegan)
6. Kale and Cheddar Bubble & Squeak
by Tinned Tomatoes
Bubble and squeak is traditionally made from leftover cabbage and potatoes, but I made my patties with cabbage, potato, kale, sweetcorn and cheddar. Make your own with any leftover vegetables from dinner, but do try these, they are exceptionally good.
(vegetarian)
7. Black Rice and Mushroom Burgers
by The Gouda Life
These superb burgers are made from mushrooms, carrots, rice and a Turkish spice blend. Topped with radishes, pea sprouts, avocado and a cucumber and garlic yoghurt sauce. I may dream about this one tonight!
(vegetarian)
8. Walnut-Mushroom Veggie Burgers
by Love and Lemons
Jeanine made her own miso-walnut paste and added it to these mini mushroom slider burgers to elevate them to something rather special. She also spiced up the ketchup she served them with, which is a great tip.
(vegetarian)
9. Cajun Spiced Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers
by Tinned Tomatoes
These are our favourite homemade burgers. I love them because they are so simple, you just throw the mashed potato and black beans in a bowl with the spices and give them a good mix, then shape them into balls. The kick of cajun spice in these burgers gives them a wonderful flavour. I like to serve them on a poppy seed bun, spread with mustard, then a layer of baby spinach, followed by the burger and topped with slices of ripe, creamy avocado.
(vegetarian and vegan)
10. Spinach Feta Veggie Burgers
by Bakeaholic Mama
Chickpeas, sauteed onions, bell peppers, spinach, and feta cheese come together to make this fantastic burger. Topped with fresh spinach, roasted tomatoes and crispy onions. This one is on my make-soon list.
(vegetarian)

BURGERS OVER AND OUT!
Thanks for this, I've been wanting to try a homemade veggie burger for ages but didn't have a clue where to start. The smokey BBQ ones and your easy chickpea ones look particularly good =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura :)
DeleteOooh how perfect! I just recently made veggie burgers for the first time and on the lookout for more!
ReplyDeleteGood timing then Anne and these are some of the very best.
DeleteI love a good burger and appreciate a great photo of a burger - I rarely do mine up in a bun but they always look amazing when I see them done this way. Not sure where to start drooling here - have made the beetroot tofu burgers and they are wonderful. Mango slaw, bubble and squeak, walnut pesto and crispy eggplant all sound amazing in a burger
ReplyDeleteI prefer them in a bun. I don't know why. Maybe it is the extra fillings and topping that make them so appealing to me that way.
DeleteI prefer to make my own burgers even though they are not vegetarian as I want to know what's in them!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Tandy and is always the best reason to make them.
DeleteNice collection of veggie burgers, Jacqueline. I seem to remember a recipe I have from some diet or another I was on years ago. It was excellent. I'll have to dig it out.
ReplyDeleteIf it's a good one, then pass it on Barbara :)
DeleteI love veggie burgers! What a great collection. I don't even know which one I like the best - they all look so good!
ReplyDeleteThey do don't they. It's getting close to dinner so I am looking at them and thinking I could manage them all, haha!
DeleteI'm not a veggie but I've always been partial to a bean burger if it contains lots of spice!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you have to heavily season and spice burgers, they really need it.
DeleteI love a good homemade veggie burger. Severe wheat allergy prevents me from eating any I have found in the freezer section. I make a double batch and freeze them to eat later. I'll have to try some of these.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really good plan. I do hope you find a few new favourites here.
DeleteI am so happy to have found you!! I am a staunch vegan with lots of great recipes of my own (delicious chocolate buns, eggplant in tomato sauce etc.) I love burgers and will most definitely try these. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteVery best regards
