Sometimes I just want to whip up something fast and easy – actually, that’s every day for me.
I was craving a burger post-workout, so I decided I was going to have a veggie burger for lunch. Something that was easy, fast, with a lot of protein in it. Cannellini beans, also known as white kidney beans are perfect for this.
You’ll only really need five ingredients for your plant-based veggie burgers, which I have listed below. For my favorite seasonings, I added garlic salt, chili powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. However, you can add whatever seasonings you enjoy most.
As you are making your batch of burgers, feel free to taste them to see if you’ve added enough seasonings to your liking. Canned beans are already cooked, so it’s totally fine to try it before you “cook” them.
