Carrot tahini quinoa veggie burger recipe! A super flavorful vegetarian burger topped with tzatziki and purple slaw. This will be your new favorite veggie loaded dinner.

Psssst….. this post was originally published in April 2015. One of Rhubarbarians’ very first posts. I’ve updated the photos and breathed new life into it. Hope you enjoy!

Well, here we are…. YEARS later and still obsessed with homemade veggie burgers. This recipe has been one of the most popular on Rhubarbarians, and I am so thankful that so many of you love it as much as I do.

What I love about these quinoa burgers:

They are loaded with veggies and protein. The carrots in the burger, the quinoa, the purple cabbage, the cucumber in the tzatziki. It’s just all so good! They taste amazing. Sounds a bit weird, with a sesame slaw, tahini in the burg, and tzatziki. But it all just works! They are totally freezable for later use. Make a double batch and freeze half (or more) for later and all that prep time is gone! So much better than having those store-bought veggie patties in your freezer.

Some notes about cooking quinoa veggie burgers:

These can be tough to hold together. If they are too wet, add more of the panko. Or if they are very dry, add another egg and mix again. Be sure not to flip too soon when cooking. You want the burger to brown on the bottom fully before flipping. I used rainbow carrots, purple cabbage, and brown quinoa. But you can use orange carrots, green cabbage, red quinoa. Any of the other varieties of these ingredients would work well. If you’d like to double the batch and freeze more for later: be sure to wrap each patty in it’s own plastic wrap or other freezable wrap. The patties will stick together if they aren’t separated.
