Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the vegeburger, beaten eggs, chopped onion, crushed crackers, parsley, and garlic powder together until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 12 to 15 patties.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the burgers in hot oil for about 15 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier version, consider using whole grain crackers instead of regular ones. You can also replace the vegeburger with black beans or lentils for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the mixture. For a vegan option, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these veggie burgers on whole grain buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. They pair beautifully with a side of Broccoli Tomato Dish or a fresh salad, such as Susie'S Grape Blueberry Salad, for a balanced meal. You can also enjoy them as a snack on their own or with a dipping sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover veggie burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes for a crispier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the veggie burgers?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Simply shape them and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until frozen solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the frying time.
What kind of crackers work best in this recipe?
Any type of plain or flavored crackers will work, but whole grain or gluten-free varieties can enhance the nutritional value. Avoid overly salty varieties to control seasoning levels in the burgers. Experiment with different flavors to match your taste preferences.
Can I bake these veggie burgers instead of frying?
Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown. This method will reduce oil usage while still providing delicious results.
