Veggie Flax Burgers
Wholesome, hearty, and packed with plant-based goodness, these Veggie Flax Burgers are the ultimate meatless alternative for a healthy and satisfying meal. Made with a nourishing blend of shredded carrots, zucchini, protein-rich chickpeas, and fluffy quinoa, these patties are naturally vegan and gluten-free (with gluten-free oats). Flaxseed meal and oats provide a boost of fiber and Omega-3s while helping bind the mixture into perfectly moldable patties. Infused with aromatic spices like garlic, cumin, and paprika, every bite delivers a burst of savory flavor. Whether baked to golden perfection or pan-fried for a crispy finish, these burgers are as versatile as they are delicious. Serve them on a bun and pile on your favorite toppings—think creamy avocado, fresh lettuce, and a drizzle of vegan mayo—for a meal that's as nutritious as it is indulgent. Perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend barbecues, these veggie flax burgers are a must-try for plant-based eaters and burger lovers alike.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Carrot, shredded
- 1 cup Zucchini, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1.5 cups Chickpeas, rinsed and mashed
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cup Oats
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Bread crumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a large skillet over medium heat if pan-frying.
Place the shredded carrot and zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and wring out the excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrot, zucchini, cooked quinoa, and mashed chickpeas. Mix well.
Add in the flaxseed meal, oats, garlic powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
If the mixture feels too wet, add the optional bread crumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until the texture is moldable.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 6 equally-sized patties.
If baking, place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. If pan-frying, heat the olive oil in the skillet and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and firm.
Serve the Veggie Flax Burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo.
