Description

Vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly veggie burger patties with a nutty taste. I came up with this recipe when I had a hard time finding any recipes for veggie burgers or patties that were grain-free and bean-free, and which actually contained vegetables. Both my husband and I love it. He had his on a burger bun with lettuce, avocado, and tomato.

Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup 1/2-inch butternut squash cubes
  • ½ cup chopped cauliflower
  • ½ cup chopped broccoli
  • ½ cup raw walnuts
  • ¼ cup raw almonds
  • ¼ cup raw sunflower seed kernels
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
  1. 1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add butternut squash cubes, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer squash to a bowl and mash; measure 1/2 cup mashed squash and reserve.
  2. 2. Place the steamer insert back into the saucepan and refill with water to reach just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower and broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  3. 3. Process walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds together in a blender or food processor until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add broccoli and cauliflower, blend until finely chopped and incorporated.
  4. 4. Blend 1/2 cup mashed squash, salt, cumin, and black pepper into the nuts mixture until well-mixed. If mixture is too thick to process, transfer it to a bowl and mix by hand.
  5. 5. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
  6. 6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot oil until browned and heated through, about 2 minutes per side.
