Flax Veggie Burgers

February 29, 2020

Whether you’re trying to save your pennies or joining the Meatless Monday movement, adding flaxseeds to a vegetarian burger recipe is a great way to create a meaty flavor (umami). Flaxseeds help bind the ingredients together, so ditch the breadcrumbs and blend in 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds instead. Bonus: flaxseeds are gluten-free! Total Time Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min. Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
