In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie Burgers


So this was my first time making my own veggie burgers, and it was actually pretty easy!! I love veggie burgers on a bun, crumbled on top of my salad, cut into pieces and put on top of crackers, dipped in hummus, and the list goes on. They are so versatile and I eat them all the time. This recipe was super easy to make and according to OSG, they are only 122 calories each! Yummm

In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie Burgers, makes 8 small patties

  • 1 cup cooked chick peas (of beans of your choice)
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped into large pieces
  • 1 small sweet onion, peeled and chopped up into large pieces
  • 1/2 Red pepper, chopped into large pieces
  • 1/4 cup spinach, washed
  • 1/2 t dried dill
  • 1/2 t dried basil
  • 1/4 t fine grain sea salt
  • tiny dash of cayenne
  • 1 clove minced garlic, optional
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (so amazing in this burger!)
  • 1 T pumpkin seeds (pepita)
  • 1 T chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup spelt flour (or flour of your choice)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with tin foil (or spray with oil).

Place all ingredients except the seeds and flour into a food processor. Process until mixture is blended well, stopping to scrape sides if necessary.

Remove mixture and place into a large bowl. Add seeds and stir well. Now add the spelt flour (or flour of your choice) in 1/4 cup increments, stirring well until blended.

Shape patties and bake for 15 mins at 375F, flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
