Veggie Flax Burgers

Wholesome, hearty, and packed with plant-based goodness, these Veggie Flax Burgers are the ultimate meatless alternative for a healthy and satisfying meal. Made with a nourishing blend of shredded carrots, zucchini, protein-rich chickpeas, and fluffy quinoa, these patties are naturally vegan and gluten-free (with gluten-free oats). Flaxseed meal and oats provide a boost of fiber and Omega-3s while helping bind the mixture into perfectly moldable patties. Infused with aromatic spices like garlic, cumin, and paprika, every bite delivers a burst of savory flavor. Whether baked to golden perfection or pan-fried for a crispy finish, these burgers are as versatile as they are delicious. Serve them on a bun and pile on your favorite toppings—think creamy avocado, fresh lettuce, and a drizzle of vegan mayo—for a meal that's as nutritious as it is indulgent. Perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend barbecues, these veggie flax burgers are a must-try for plant-based eaters and burger lovers alike.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Carrot, shredded
• 1 cup Zucchini, shredded
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1.5 cups Chickpeas, rinsed and mashed
• 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
• 0.5 cup Oats
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Bread crumbs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a large skillet over medium heat if pan-frying.

Step 2

Place the shredded carrot and zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and wring out the excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrot, zucchini, cooked quinoa, and mashed chickpeas. Mix well.

Step 4

Add in the flaxseed meal, oats, garlic powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

If the mixture feels too wet, add the optional bread crumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until the texture is moldable.

Step 6

Using your hands, form the mixture into 6 equally-sized patties.

Step 7

If baking, place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. If pan-frying, heat the olive oil in the skillet and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and firm.

Step 8

Serve the Veggie Flax Burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo.
