To make your veggie burgers pop with flavour, load them up with herbs and spices. Classic choices like garlic, onion powder, cumin, and paprika add a savoury depth. Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil can brighten up the patty, giving it a fresh and vibrant taste. Don’t forget to add some salt and pepper to enhance all those flavours. Experiment with your favourites to create the best veggie burgers that suit your taste buds!

Veggie burgers can be tricky to keep intact, but there are a few tricks to help. Start with a binding agent like eggs or flaxseed and water mixture for a vegan option. Adding breadcrumbs or oats can also help absorb moisture and bind the ingredients together. When forming the patty, press firmly to compact it. Chilling the patties in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking can also help them hold their shape. Finally, handle them gently and use a skillet or grill to get a nice, firm crust.

To make Mob’s veggie burgers vegan, you can easily swap out any animal-based ingredients with plant-based alternatives. Use flaxseeds mixed with water or chia seeds as a binder instead of eggs. Ensure any breadcrumbs you use are vegan, and skip cheese or use a plant-based cheese substitute. For toppings, go with vegan mayo, avocado, or hummus. These swaps keep the calories low while maintaining great flavour and texture, making the best veggie burgers that are entirely plant-based.

For protein-packed veggie burgers, chickpeas are a top choice. They add a hearty texture and nutty flavour. Lentils and black beans are also excellent options, offering a robust taste and firm texture. Quinoa and tofu are great plant-based proteins that can be added for extra nutritional value. These ingredients provide substantial protein without the meat, making them perfect for veggie burger recipes.

Achieving the right texture in veggie burgers is crucial. You want a patty that's firm yet tender, not mushy. Start with a mix of mashed and whole ingredients like beans or lentils to give structure. Adding grains like quinoa or rice can also improve the texture. Breadcrumbs or oats help absorb moisture and bind the patty. Don’t over-process the mixture; leave some chunks for a better bite. Cooking methods like grilling or using a skillet can create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist.

The best way to cook a veggie burger is either on a grill or in a skillet. Grilling adds a smoky flavour and gives a nice char to the patty. Preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are firm and have grill marks. If using a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring a crispy exterior. Both methods keep the texture perfect and flavours intense, making for the best veggie burgers.
