Homemade Veggie Burgers

I don't know if you heard, but yesterday was national cheese burger day! I also didn't know this, but my husband came home yesterday hell bent on burgers for dinner.  Unfortunately, I was not feeling a beef patty last night.  So I went and worked out and came home to find all the ingredients for homemade veggie burgers.  I was pretty skeptical at first, but it turns out that they we amazing and were not that hard to make!  The patties turned out crispy, flavorful, and very filing!

Here is the recipe! It was submitted by Guy Fieri on FoodNetwork.comWe left out the bell peppers, but if you like those, put them on in! Make sure to mash up the ingredients a bit so that the beans make the patties stick together.  We were very tempted to grill them, but I would recommend using a skillet.  My sister tried them on the grill and they kind of crumbled.  
Ingredients
  • 2 ounces olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons diced black olives
  • 2 tablespoons diced red bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons diced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon diced artichoke
  • 4 ounces black beans, drained
  • 4 ounces chickpeas, drained
  • 4 ounces white beans, drained
  • 6 ounces rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
Directions:
In a medium saute pan over medium heat, add 1-ounce olive oil and all raw vegetables except beans. Saute until translucent. Remove and cool.
Add veggies to beans and mix thoroughly. Add all dry ingredients along with the egg. Thoroughly mix all ingredients and form into 4 patties, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In saute pan add 1-ounce olive oil, and cook patties 2 to 3 minutes per side.

On the side I made some roasted potatoes.  These are always delicious and really customizable to your taste.  I started by quartering small red potatoes.  I them sprinkled them with garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and a bit of cayenne pepper.  Drizzle olive oil on top and stir everything up to evenly coat the potatoes.  Roast them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 35-40 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.  Half way through the time mix up the potatoes so all sides get roasted and to ensure that they don't bake right onto the pan.

Just as the patties are finishing up, melt the cheese on top, and put the buns in the toaster.  Add your favorite burger toppings.  We used lettuce, tomatoes, and a bit of catsup (although the patties were very flavorful all by themselves). Enjoy this very healthy burger!!
