Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the vegeburgers for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before frying.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, consider using 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). Both options work well in binding the ingredients together.
How can I make these vegeburgers spicier?
To add more heat to your vegeburgers, mix in chopped jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper into the mixture. You can also serve them with a spicy aioli or sriracha as a condiment for an extra kick.
