  • 1/2 cup dry-roasted cashews

  • 1 large egg to bind
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika for smokiness

Instructions

  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the grated carrots and red onion, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, combine the drained cannellini beans and dry-roasted cashews. Pulse until you achieve a chunky paste.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, the bean mixture, cooked brown rice, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, mayo, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 6-8 patties.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and firm.
  • Serve your veggie burgers on whole grain buns, lettuce wraps, or on their own. Top with your favorite condiments and enjoy!
