Best Veggie Burger Ever
This veggie burger is unreal. It’s a bold statement, I know. But it’s true.
Last weekend we had a big family bbq at my mom’s house. One of my older brothers is a vegan and his wife is vegetarian. My younger, and non-vegan, brother took the veggie burgers camping with him. Figures.
So here we were, on a holiday Monday with no veggie burgers for the vegan/vegetarian. The bbq was firing up in less than an hour and I had limited supplies. I felt like I was on an episode of Chopped. I whipped up this burger and even surprised myself how freakin’ awesome it was. Try my Rosemary Garlic Aioli on top with some sliced avocado – absolutely delicious!
I love sweet potatoes and knew they would be the perfect base to my veggie burger. The orange-fleshed vegetables are an incredible source of beta-carotene. A precursor to vitamin A, beta-carotene provides your body with hard working antioxidants. These antioxidants combat free radicals in our bodies, which help prevent cardiovascular disease, wrinkles, and cancer.
Ingredients

Instructions

Notes
