Grate the carrot and zucchini into a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery, parsley, and green onions, then add them to the bowl.
In a food processor, pulse the sunflower seeds until they are coarsely ground, but not too fine. Avoid over-processing as you want some texture. Add this to the mixing bowl.
Add the flaxseed meal, lemon juice, cumin, sea salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the vegetables and seeds.
Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the mixture holds together. If it feels too dry, add a small amount of water, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture binds.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, pressing them firmly with your hands.
Place a lettuce leaf on a plate, and then set one patty on top. Add a slice of tomato and a few slices of avocado to assemble the burger.
Repeat for the remaining patties and serve immediately. These burgers are best enjoyed fresh and raw.
