While I love a meatlessly meaty burger - I'm looking at you BBQ black bean burger - sometimes I just want a veggie burger. Something lighter, something fresh...something different. These cauliflower burgers with quinoa are all those things. Light, fresh and different. And maybe a little good for you.
Why We Love A Good Cauliflower Burger
Well, for starters these cauliflower burgers are super tasty. But, that's not all.
- They are so easy to make
- These burgers have the goodness of cauliflower, chickpeas and quinoa
- A little lighter than your average burger, they are a perfect Spring/Summer recipe
- I love just frying up the patties and serving them with a green salad and vegan mayonnaise.
- We can make them gluten-free, simply use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns
- These burgers are kid-friendly, if they don't like heat just add regular mayo and nix the sriracha
Burger Ingredients
Cauliflower. Obviously.
Quinoa. Any colour quinoa will do. I think in these pictures I used tri-colour quinoa.
Chickpeas & aquafaba. While you can cook your own chickpeas from scratch - I have instructions in my chickpea and spinach curry post - and keep the aquafaba (chickpea brine), canned chickpeas are much quicker and easier for this burger.
Coriander. Mint would work here too.
Breadcrumbs. I pretty much always use Panko breadcrumbs, but any you have on hand will work. You may just have to add a little more.
Cheese. Vegan cheeae not only adds flavour here, it also helps to bind our burger. Get a nice melty one if you can.
Mayo. I use my own recipe but use any vegan mayo you like.
Sriracha. Or your favourite chilli sauce.
How To Make Cauliflower Burgers
