Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a hearty, plant-based burger that satisfies all your cravings. This recipe delivers that experience, starting with flavorful, minced vegetable patties seasoned with a medley of aromatic spices. Baked to perfection, the patties boast a delightful contrast in textures: a satisfyingly crisp exterior giving way to a tender and delicate interior, reminiscent of a classic grilled burger.

These delectable patties are nestled within soft, vegan burger buns, crafted from a blend of alternative flours and sprinkled with nutty sesame seeds. The result is a harmonious combination of flavors and textures that elevates the burger experience. This recipe is perfect for enjoying outdoors, especially when you're yearning for that quintessential burger experience.

For optimal storage, keep the fully assembled burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. A quick microwave will revive them, allowing you to add fresh toppings for a revitalized meal. Alternatively, storing the patties and buns separately extends their shelf life; the patties will keep for up to five days in the refrigerator.

The world of burger toppings is your oyster! Many classic options naturally complement this vegan creation. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and pungent onions (in moderation) offer refreshing contrasts.

A dollop of ketchup or mustard adds a tangy kick, while creamy avocado provides a luxurious richness. For a Southwestern twist, consider homemade guacamole, blending avocado with salt, lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. And if you're looking to indulge, a slice of vegan cheese substitute can transform your burger into a delectable cheeseburger.

It's worth noting that these plant-based burgers might be slightly smaller than their conventional counterparts. Creating vegan versions of traditionally non-vegan foods often involves careful ingredient substitutions. While vegetables form the base of these patties, it's important to be mindful of their carbohydrate content.

Similarly, the alternative flours used in the buns, while preferable to traditional wheat flour, still contribute to the overall carbohydrate count. Crafting a mock version of a beloved dish sometimes requires balancing size with the desired nutritional profile, offering a satisfying and flavorful experience without compromising your dietary preferences.

Instructions

    1.
    Begin making the buns by combining the coconut flour, milled flaxseed, almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, stir in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Begin stirring cold water into the dough in c-cup increments. Continue adding water until you have a shaggy dough. Then, use your hands to knead the dough either in the bowl or on a clean surface until it comes together in a smooth ball. You may or may not need to add more water to achieve the final dough.
    2.
    Turn on the oven to preheat to 400 degrees. While the oven is preheating, leave the dough in the bowl to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a sheet tray with parchment paper, and pour the sesame seeds onto a small plate to use later. When the dough is done resting, portion it into servings and roll each one into a ball. One by one, gently shape the balls so they have a flat bottom and a softly rounded top. Roll the rounded top in the sesame seeds and set the bun on the sheet tray.
    3.
    When all the buns are prepared, bake the tray in the oven for 30 minutes. For doneness, look for golden edges on the sides, lightly toasted sesame seeds, and a dry top. Set the finished buns aside to rest on a cooling rack until the end of the recipe. Leave the oven on, and move on to making the burger patties.
    4.
    Combine minced mushrooms, celery, and cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. For the mushrooms and celery, mince the vegetables as finely as you can. The finer and more equal you can mince all the pieces, the easier it will be to form your patties later. For the cauliflower rice, it will be best to use riced cauliflower. You can choose either thawed riced cauliflower from your freezer or rice your own fresh cauliflower. Use the photo as a reference for what your minced veggies should look like.
    5.
    Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the minced veggies to the pan. Season the pan with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and parsley. Stir the vegetables and seasonings together as it all cooks down. Let the veggies at the bottom of the pan brown before stirring again. Continue this method until all the vegetables are cooked down into a softened, still moist texture - as much as 10 minutes.
    6.
    At the end of cooking, stir the soy sauce into the pan and let it cook off. Take the pan off the stove heat and allow it to cool for just 1-2 minutes. Stir milled flaxseed and raw chia seeds into the still-hot pan (don arely, the chia seeds will cook more later). Set the pan aside to continue cooling until you can touch the burger mixture comfortably. Meanwhile, line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
    7.
    Form patties using the cooled burger mixture by rolling about 4 tablespoons at a time into a ball. Then, press the ball onto the parchment paper with your palm until it forms a pattie about -thick. Repeat the process until all your burgers are made. If you have any leftover burger mixture, just divide it evenly amongst the prepared patties.
    8.
    Bake the patties in your oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes. When the patties are cooked through, they will naturally release from the parchment paper when you give your sheet tray a little shake. The patties will have crispy outsides and delicate insides. Slice the burger buns in half, and use a spatula to transfer the vegan burger patties onto the buns. Finish building your Keto burger at your discretion.
