A good veggie burger should stick together without crumbling, fill your belly as a main course, and be packed full of flavor. These white bean burgers easily knock those requirements out of the park. Inspired by the aromatic flavors of Tuscany, each patty is seasoned with Italian herbs and features the umami-rich flavor of trumpet mushrooms. Cannellini beans, brown rice, carrots, green beans, and celery also make their way into the mix, ensuring each bite is bursting with healthy produce. (When cooking the patty mixture, the skillet needs to be wide to give a large surface for the liquid to cook off. If the mixture is too moist, you can spread it on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 300°F before shaping it into patties and baking again as directed in Steps 3–5.) Once the patties are out of the oven, assemble your sandwich on whole wheat buns and garnish with your favorite toppings and sauces. 

Tip: When shopping for burger buns, look for oil-free options that list 100 percent whole grains on the label. We recommend the whole grain buns from the Food for Life Ezekiel 4.9 product line.

For more mealtime inspiration, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 12 burgers
Time: 80 minutes
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh trumpet mushrooms (about 4 oz.)
  • 2 cups finely chopped carrots
  • 2 cups finely chopped green beans
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 15-oz. cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (3 cups)
  • 1 cup cooked short grain brown rice
  • 4½ teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, crushed

  • Yellow mustard
  • Ketchup
  • 12 whole grain burger buns
  • 12 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a food processor combine the first seven ingredients (through garlic). Pulse into small bits.
  2. Transfer mixture to a large skillet. Cook over medium 15 minutes or until moisture has cooked off, stirring frequently. (Do not add any liquid.) Add the next seven ingredients (through crushed red pepper, if using). Mix well and coarsely mash. Remove from heat; cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

This tantalizing recipe combines your favorite curry flavors into the familiar shape of a veggie burger. Tender Yukon gold potato patties are seasoned with cilantro, turmeric, ginger, lime, and garlic before being dipped in a spicy cumin-infused batter. While the patties bake to crisp perfection, you can quickly whip up a tangy cilantro chutney to take the place of your standard burger sauces. Simply sandwich each potato patty between whole wheat buns, top with chutney and sriracha (if you like spice), and dig in! Don’t worry if these burgers stick to the parchment or silicone as they bake; they’re served smashed, so they don’t need to look perfect.

For more unique veggie burger recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 8 burgers
Time: 75 minutes
  • 3 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
  • 2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves + ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 8 to 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1¼ teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½ cups chickpea flour
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • ½ of a jalapeño, seeded (keep some seeds if you like heat)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 8 whole wheat burger buns, toasted
  • Sriracha sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place potato pieces in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan to just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 20 minutes or until very tender. Transfer to a large bowl; let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  3. Coarsely mash potatoes. Place 5 cups mashed potatoes in a large bowl. Add cilantro, lime juice, garlic, ginger, ½ teaspoon of the turmeric, and ½ teaspoon of the salt; mix well. Shape mixture into eight balls, using ½ cup mixture per ball.
  4. In a bowl whisk together the remaining ¾ teaspoon turmeric and ¼ teaspoon salt and the next four ingredients (through baking soda). Add milk; whisk into a smooth batter.
  5. Roll potato balls in batter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
  6. For Cilantro Chutney, in a blender combine the 2 cups of packed cilantro leaves, jalapeño, and lemon juice. Cover and blend into a coarse sauce. Season with sea salt.
  7. Spread Cilantro Chutney on bottom halves of buns. Top with potato balls and, if desired, sriracha. Add bun tops. Press gently to smash burgers.

Change up your wrap routine with these fun folded rice-and-bean quesadillas. Each quadrant of a whole wheat tortilla is slathered in scrumptious Tex-Mex ingredients and stacked on top of each other to create a perfectly balanced, hand-held snack. Creamy black beans get a spicy kick from chili powder, brown rice soaks up the tangy flavors of pico de gallo, homemade guacamole gets lightened up with mashed peas, and fresh spinach adds leafy green goodness to each bite. This is a great meal when you’re in a rush or need something cute and quick to pack into your kid’s lunchbox. Serve with extra pico de gallo or hot sauce, and chow down!

For more vegan quesadilla recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4 quesadillas
Time: 15 minutes
  • ¾ cup frozen green peas, steamed until very tender
  • ½ of a medium ripe avocado, seeded, peeled, and quartered
  • 1 cup no-salt-added black beans or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 7- to 8-inch whole wheat flour tortillas
  • 4 teaspoons nutritional yeast
  • ¾ cup cooked brown rice
  • ½ cup purchased pico de gallo (fresh salsa)
  • 1 cup shredded fresh spinach
  • 3 tablespoons sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Put peas and avocado in a small bowl; mash them with a fork until mostly smooth. Put beans, milk, and chili powder in another small bowl; mash them until mostly smooth.
  2. Lay a tortilla on a work surface. Make a cut in tortilla from the center to the edge closest to you. Imagine the tortilla divided into four equal sections. On the bottom left section, spread one-fourth of the avocado mixture and sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon of the nutritional yeast. On the top left section, spread 3 tablespoons of the rice and top it with 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo. On the top right section, spread ¼ cup of the spinach and top it with one-fourth of the olives. Finally, on the bottom right section, spread one-fourth of the mashed beans.
  3. Fold the avocado section over the rice. Fold that portion over the spinach. Finally, fold the three sections over the beans. Repeat to make three more folded tortillas.
  4. To cook, put a large nonstick skillet on a burner. Turn the burner  to medium. When the skillet is hot, carefully place two quesadillas in the skillet. Cook about 2 minutes or until quesadillas are golden brown on the bottom. Use a pancake turner to carefully flip quesadillas over. Cook 2 minutes more or until the other side is golden brown. Remove from skillet. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Serve quesadillas with the remaining ¼ cup pico de gallo or salsa.

Chalupa is a Spanish word for boat, and these crispy, queso-filled wraps are some of the tastiest-looking boats we’ve ever seen! While traditional chalupas tend to be heavy on animal products and oil, our vegan version—which may remind you of a popular chain restaurant’s taco wraps—relies on a savory tofu and pinto bean filling to replace the meat. A homemade chipotle queso sauce adds delicious plant-based cheesiness to the chalupas, and fresh pico de gallo salsa provides refreshing contrast to the crispy tortillas. To serve, dip these delicious tacos into extra queso sauce or break out the guacamole and vegan sour cream for a full-on feast. You’ll never crave takeout again once you have this fantastic recipe under your belt!

For more plant-based tacos, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4 wraps
  • 1 tablespoon salt-free taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 12-oz. package light firm tofu, drained
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added chickpeas, undrained
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant milk
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added pinto beans, rinsed and drained (1½ cups)
  • ⅔ cup purchased pico de gallo, drained
  • Four 7- to 8-inch whole wheat flour tortillas
  • ½ cup chopped jicama
  • ½ cup chopped tomato

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl stir together taco seasoning, tamari, and paprika. Crumble tofu into bowl; stir to coat. Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Line the bottom of the basket with parchment paper. Add tofu to basket. Air-fry 20 minutes or until tofu is nearly dry and browned on edges, stirring twice.
  2. Meanwhile, for Chipotle Queso, in a blender or food processor combine chickpeas, nutritional yeast, chipotle chiles, and lime juice. Cover and blend. Gradually add plant milk until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt, and set aside.
  3. Place beans and ⅓ cup of the pico de gallo in a small food processor. Process until mostly smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water as needed.
  4. Lay tortillas on a work surface. Spread bean mixture in centers of tortillas. Top with tofu mixture, jicama, and tomato. Top each with 2 tablespoons Chipotle Queso. Fold tortillas in half over the filling.
  5. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium. Place wraps on griddle. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until browned, carefully turning halfway through cooking. Serve with the remaining ⅓ cup pico de gallo and the remaining Chipotle Queso for dipping.

Once the patties are ready, serve them on a whole wheat bun with all your favorite toppings.

If you thought lettuce cups weren’t filling enough to be served as a main course, think again: These hearty veggie wraps feature a satisfying medley of char-grilled eggplant, bell pepper, and zucchini. While the colorful veggies are enough to make you salivate, the real star of the show is chickpeas, which get a triple appearance in this scrumptious dish. Each lettuce leaf is slathered in creamy hummus before being piled high with toppings, while whole chickpeas are tossed into the veggie mix and aquafaba (chickpea liquid) emulsifies the smoky citrus dressing. Romaine leaves are sturdy enough to act as edible flatware and add a satisfying crunch to each bite. When you want a veg-forward meal to fill a rumbling tummy, fire up the grill and whip up a batch of these wonderful wraps to satisfy your cravings.

Tip: Vegetable mixture can be made ahead and chilled to use in cold wraps.

  • 16 8-inch toasted nori sheets
  • 1 small avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan bring broth to boiling. Add rice; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 40 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in beans, vinegar, and maple syrup. Cool 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a food processor combine mango, lime juice, and sriracha sauce. Process until smooth. Toss shredded vegetables with half of the mango sauce.
  3. Cut nori sheets into 8-inch-diameter circles. (Tip: Use an 8-inch round cake pan or pot lid as a template when cutting the circles). Layer two nori circles together for each taco. With damp fingers, spread rice mixture over layered nori sheets. Arrange vegetable mixture and avocado over half of the rice. Fold nori sheets over vegetables. Serve tacos with remaining mango sauce.
