Description
Vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly veggie burger patties with a nutty taste. I came up with this recipe when I had a hard time finding any recipes for veggie burgers or patties that were grain-free and bean-free, and which actually contained vegetables. Both my husband and I love it. He had his on a burger bun with lettuce, avocado, and tomato.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup 1/2-inch butternut squash cubes
- ½ cup chopped cauliflower
- ½ cup chopped broccoli
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ¼ cup raw almonds
- ¼ cup raw sunflower seed kernels
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add butternut squash cubes
- cover
- and steam until tender
- 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer squash to a bowl and mash; measure 1/2 cup mashed squash and reserve.
- Place the steamer insert back into the saucepan and refill with water to reach just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower and broccoli
- cover
- and steam until tender
- 2 to 6 minutes.

- transfer it to a bowl and mix by hand.
