Veggie burgers seem to get picked on more than any other kind of vegan food. I can understand why. A hamburger, by its very definition, is a ball of ground beef formed into a patty, and thus the argument goes: anything else is simply not a burger. I’ll concede, I never had a veggie burger that tasted like a real hamburger, but I’m 100 percent fine with that. I think a great vegan burger recipe is one that brings out the natural flavors of its ingredients.

Veggie burgers have come a long way over the years. When I first became a vegetarian over 10 years ago, Boca burgers were the go-to vegan burger. These days, however, they’re something you settle for when you’re too lazy to make patties from scratch. I think everything changed when vegan chefs stopped focussing on making veggie burgers that taste like meat, and started focussing on making veggie burgers that simply taste great. For me, the best veggie burgers have not tasted like nor resembled meat, they’ve just tasted delicious for what they are.

So, without any further ado…
