How To Make mediterranean veggie burgers

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. LIghtly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment.
  • Step 2
    Put the beans,tahini, almond meal, egg, spinach, onions, cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings in a food processor.
  • Step 3
    Pulse until mostly smooth but do not overprocess, a bit of chunkiness is good.
  • Step 4
    Put the bean mixture in a bowl and fold in the roasted red peppers, feta, and olives.
  • Step 5
    Shape into 6 patties, flatten slightly, and place on the baking sheet.
  • Step 6
    Bake the burgers for 20 minutes. Turn them over and bake another 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Step 7
    Serve, bunless or on bun of choice, with lettuce, tomato, and tzatziki sauce. Or serve with a dipping sauce such as a Tahini-Lemon one. Enjoy!
