Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the veggie burgers by placing a patty on each bun and adding your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo.
