Introduction
Summer is here, and that means it's time to fire up the grill and host some barbecues. While burgers and hot dogs are classic BBQ staples, they're not always the healthiest option. If you're looking for a delicious and nutritious alternative, try our ultimate veggie burger BBQ recipe. Not only is it packed with flavor, but it's also a great way to get some extra veggies into your diet.Ingredients
To make this delicious veggie burger recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup of cooked quinoa
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. 2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they're mostly smooth. 3. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, cilantro, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. 4. Divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. 5. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they're heated through and have nice grill marks. 6. Serve the veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and onion.Tips
- If you don't have quinoa on hand, you can use cooked brown rice or another grain instead.
- If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can use parsley or another herb instead.
- If you're having trouble getting the burgers to hold together, try refrigerating the mixture for 30 minutes before shaping them into patties.
- For added flavor, try brushing the burgers with BBQ sauce or your favorite marinade before grilling.
