Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Hot vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 small Zucchini, grated
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the TVP in a medium bowl and pour the hot vegetable broth over it. Stir to combine, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency (this acts as an egg substitute).

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, cooked onion and garlic, grated carrot, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, flaxseed mixture, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Serve the TVP veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo, or avocado. Enjoy!
