Introduction
Summer is finally here. That means burgers are on the grill, bonfires happen, and I still stay inside and pretend nobody exists. If you like burgers, you should try a veggie burger because it has fewer calories and more nutrients.
Try making these 40 plant-based burger recipes today, including but not limited to the following.
- Seitan Burger
- Grilled Portobello Burger
- Vegan Double Cheeseburger
- Kidney Bean Burger
- Greek Chickpea Burger
If these burgers sound delicious, check out my blog post on vegan American recipes.
1. Seitan Burger
My sister-in-law brags about the wonders of seitan, but the problem is I don’t have seitan at my local grocery store.
If you have seitan available or feel up to making homemade seitan, make these seitan burgers from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken.
