Veggie burgers can be delicate, making most of them a poor choice for the grill. I made sure that these burgers would hold well on the grill, while still being full of flavor and texture.
In these patties, you’ll find toasted walnuts, beans, onions, garlic and a few other ingredients for flavor. Just simple ingredients you likely already have on hand.
Here are the steps to make grillable walnut veggie burgers at home.
Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse until it forms large crumbs. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast 5-6 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and salt. Cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Wipe the skillet and heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Add the kidney beans, tomato paste and soy sauce to a food processor. Process until combined. Add the onion and garlic and pulse a few times. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the walnuts. Stir in the flour into the mixture and mix until combined.
Form 4 patties with the mixture using your hands. Lightly brush with oil. Heat the grill over medium heat or heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side. Serve in a hamburger bun with toppings of choice.
Next time you’re doing a BBQ this summer, try a veggie burger. It’s always appreciated to have a vegetarian option. You can also pair it with this roasted herb potato salad for a delicious vegetarian summer spread.
