Two eggs help firm up the middles of the burgers so they stay together when you take a bite.This makes up most of the burger, which means you see the little bits of vegetable throughout the patty (see the photo below). A food processor helps to chop vegetables so they look like coarse crumbs.Instead of biting into a patty with one color and one texture, these feel more “meaty” and have more oomph when you bite.

We aren’t trying to imitate a real meat burger here - see our no-fuss hamburger recipe or this seriously good turkey burger if that’s what you’re craving. We add more than 8 cups of vegetables - that’s 1 cup of veggies for every burger. (If you are looking for a simple black bean burger recipe, though, here’s our favorite version. We add beans to this recipe, but they are far from the star. Have you noticed that most of the veggie burger recipes, we stumble onto online are almost 100% beans.
