Sometimes eating Healthy does taste better, just try a Baked Homemade Veggie Burger. Carrots, Celery, Zucchini, and spices make this a perfect alternative to a regular burger.
We love burgers! Who doesn’t? But as my youngest daughter reminds me “Ma let’s do something veggie”. So needless to say we decided to give a Veggie Burger a try.
We love our Tuna Burgers and our Italian Stuffed Burgers so now it’s time for a Baked Homemade Veggie Burger.We wanted to make a burger without the usual black beans or humus more of our favourite raw veggies instead.
Baked Homemade Veggie Burger
So I shredded a carrot, zucchini, potato and half a celery stalk, I mixed them all together and really squeezed it well to remove as much excess moisture as possible. I then mixed in some spices, an egg and some flour. Formed them into a patty shape, we then baked them for approximately 20 minutes. I turned them halfway so they would brown on both sides.
Veggie Burgers make the perfect light meal serve them with a tossed salad with or without a bun. Pretty good too if you add a little bit of mayo on the bun. Plus they are so fast and easy, what more can you ask for? Seems to me it would make a yummy summer meal also. Buon Appetito!

This looks delicious. The ingredients are versatile in flavor which appeals to me. I will definitely make them. However, I have a good friend who loves veggie burgers but cannot have egg. What can be used instead? Thank you for your response.

Hi Ellen thanks so much, you could either just leave it out altogether or add a tablespoon of olive oil. Let me know how it works out.
