Why Homemade Veggie Burgers Beat the Frozen Aisle

Frozen veggie burgers are convenient but rarely crave-able. A homemade patty is craggy, crispy, and packed with whatever you want it to be.

The biggest mistake is too much moisture. Drain beans well, sauté mushrooms until dry, and squeeze grated vegetables in a clean towel before mixing.

Cook on a hot griddle or in a cast-iron pan with a slick of oil. The crust is everything — a soft, pale veggie burger never wins anyone over.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Dry your ingredients

    Wet beans, raw mushrooms, and grated zucchini turn patties to mush. Drain, sauté, or squeeze before mixing.

  2. 2

    Use a binder that works

    Egg, breadcrumbs, oats, or flax egg. Skip the binder and your burger falls apart on the first flip.

  3. 3

    Chill the patties

    Refrigerate formed patties for 30 minutes before cooking. They firm up and hold their shape on the grill or in the pan.

  4. 4

    Get a real crust

    Cook on high heat in a cast-iron with oil — not on a soft griddle. A crispy exterior is what makes a veggie burger feel like a burger.
