The best Green Veggie Burger ever! The veggie patty uses potatoes and broccoli as a base, sunflower seeds and oats are added for texture and binding. These don't fall apart! You can pan-fry them, grill them or bake them!

In the last couple of years of being vegan, I had my fair share of veggie burgers. Some of them fell apart, some were mushy in the middle, or they just didn't taste that exciting. So with the goal in mind to create the ultimate, delicious but not too complicated burger patty, I came up with this Green Veggie Burger and it is everything I ever wanted.

I LOVE broccoli, so of course, they had to go in. Potatoes are great for the base because they are great binder - especially together with the rolled oats. The caramelized onion and garlic are for a deeper flavor. The sunflower seeds are for texture. And that's pretty much it. The Best Green Vegan Burger ever.

The perfect veggie patties need of course the perfect setting. Served in homemade Pretzel rolls, together with green leafy salad, cucumber slices, and creamy avocado slices. Who needs sauce if there's avocado?!

    As you were listing off the ingredients I was just like yes, yes, yes--all things I love too! It really does sound like the ultimate mix of ingredients and since it holds together it automatically trumps like 90% of veggie burgers out there already lol. Plus green always feels healthier somehow :) And I am totally with you on the avocado as sauce, haven't used "dressing' in years thanks to that wonderful fruit. I just want to grab that seedy bun and bite right in!

      Hahaha, right, I can't stand veggie patties anymore that fall apart! Enough of that! Who knew veggies were such a great binder.. And you're so right about the green patties. It's the same with falafel for me, if the falafel are green inside - I feel they are so much healthier - even though they are deep-fried. :D #eatyourgreens

    Caution all: do not taste this mixture before cooking burgers...or you won't have any left to cook!!! Great binder tip too, all other burgers I've made have fallen apart bar this one

    Hi
    Im going to try this recipe but I'm wondering do you grind up the seeds and oats at all or just put them in whole? Thank you!

      I leave them whole because I like the texture in the patties, but you can totally grind them up if you prefer that!

    Hello! This looks great and I'm excited to try it! Can you estimate how many cups 1/2 broccoli is? My broccoli's seem to come in such varying sizes! Probably any range of broccoli would work, since it's not the main binding part?

    These were really yummy! I ate mine on a bed of greens with a little vegan ranch dressing. They were sturdy and held up well while pan frying. Will make again, maybe with purple potatoes!
