Meatless Monday: Four Fab Veggie Burgers

June 27, 2011

Vegetarians rejoice! You too can have fun this 4th of July weekend. Don't be surprised if the omnivores try to snatch these delectable and hearty burgers right off your plate.

Mediterranean
Chickpeas and sunflower seeds add some protein to this exotic burger. It needs to be pan fried for a few minutes before being tossed on the grill.

Great Grains
This hefty veggie burger can go directly on the grill. If you're celiac or gluten intolerant, you can use certified gluten free oats.

Nut and Brown Rice
This veggie burger has a nice balance of fat, protein, and carbs. It may work better to be pan fried, but can be eaten with all the usual burger fixings.

Jalapeno Bean
Take a trip to the Southwest with these spicy and grill friendly burgers. They can be made gluten free by using a gluten free bun (or none) and breadcrumbs.
