Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try adding mashed avocado or a bit of Greek yogurt to the mixture. You can substitute the walnuts or pecans with sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. If you want to add more flavor, consider including garlic powder or smoked paprika. These vegetable burgers can be customized by including grated carrots or zucchini for extra moisture and nutrients.
