Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the carrot patties into the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Lightly toast the burger buns in the oven or on a skillet if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a cooked carrot burger patty on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Add a slice of tomato and 1 tablespoon of your preferred burger sauce on top of each patty.
Cover with the top half of the burger bun and serve immediately.
