How to make the vegetable burger

1. First you need to boil the vegetables . Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut them into pieces of the same size (about 2 cm).
2. Boil them in a pan with plenty of salted water until they are soft under the fork.
3. In the meantime, dedicate yourself to cooking the courgette . Wash it under running water, remove the ends and cut it into chunks.
4. Sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt for 10 minutes.
5. When all the vegetables are ready and cool, start preparing the hamburger. Mash the potatoes and carrots with a fork, then add the courgettes, egg, parmesan and mix.
6. Season with salt and pepper and finally add just enough breadcrumbs to obtain a mixture that is not too dry and workable with your hands.
7. Divide the dough into four parts and give it the characteristic shape of the hamburger with your hands. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with a drizzle of oil and cook at 200 ° C for 20 minutes , turning them halfway through cooking.

When cooked, place a slice of cheese on each of them so that it begins to melt. Then compose the sandwich by distributing a little sauce on the bread, the salad and the tomato at the base and on top of the vegetable meatball. Close and serve still hot.

The ideal is to accompany the vegetable burger with fries . Otherwise, if you want to change, try the other vegetarian and veggie burger recipes as well.

storage

We recommend keeping the burgers in the fridge for a maximum of 2 days , but if you have already prepared the sandwich it is best to consume it at the moment. We do not recommend freezing in the freezer.
