Burgers are at the heart of every summer barbecue, and eating plant-based doesn’t mean you have to miss out. The vegan market is saturated with processed artificial meats, so finding a solid veggie burger made from real,whole ingredients can be a true challenge. I’m going to speak on behalf of vegans far and wide and say that what we want in our burger is great texture, lots of veggies, natural plant protein and a killer sauce that brings it all together. Am I right? Well, after years of perfecting this recipe, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you: This veggie burger is bun in a million. The texture of these Best Ever Veggie Burgers by Jackie Akerberg is firm enough to stand up to the grill, and it can absolutely hold its own on a bun. Trust me when I say that this veggie burger is the only burger recipe you need. Happy grilling! Credit: Reprinted with permission from The Clean Vegan Cookbook by Jackie Akerberg.
