Notes
We love these in a grunty fresh multigrain bun with loads of green salad, fresh tomato slices, avocado and a dash of lemon mayo. Add mushrooms, red onion, sprouts, an egg and beetroot to your veggie burger for even more layers of goodness.
You can also cook these veggie burgers on the BBQ. Serve with a side of freshly steamed corn cobs. This veggie burger recipe is ideal for vegetarians and even great when cold.
