I love a good vegetable burger. But the ingredient list for most veggie burgers intimidates me! I love these Five Ingredient Vegetable Burgers because they come together quickly and they are tasty too!

Five Ingredient Vegetable Burgers

I took the liberty of assuming that most of us have salt, pepper and a bottle of olive oil in your pantry. That only leaves five ingredients to gather from the store!

• Split green peas – Split green peas are a member of the legume family. They are rich in fiber and are a popular source of protein in veggie-centric diets. One serving offers ~12g of protein. Check out more here.

Directions

Place peas in 1 cup of water in a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 25-35 minutes until tender.

In a food processor, combine cooked peas, carrots, egg, salt and pepper. Pulse the mixture until you have a thick, chunky consistency. Transfer mixture into a bowl and fold the in breadcrumbs and onion. Form mixture into two patties and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat add the butter (or coconut oil). You’ll want a nice hot pan so you can get a good crust on the burgers. Add the patties and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottoms begin to brown. Make sure not to flip the burgers too much or else they’ll fall apart!

Serve patties on a piece of toasted bread with a small handful of baby spinach. I like mine with a touch of Dijon mustard. Enjoy!
