29 Plant-Based Burger Recipes

Buns, patties, toppings, and sauce - that’s all you need for flavor-packed, delicious plant-based burgers. 

My favorite way to up the flavor in my meatless burgers? Finger-lickin' good “meaty” mushroom bacon, creamy pesto, or a layer of lip-smacking BBQ sauce.

Of course, you can choose and customize your own, that’s what this list is all about. 

You'll have 100% control over the texture and flavor due to the variety of ingredients that can be used - and that list is endless. 

You can go with mushrooms, tempeh, tofu, beans, lentils, grains, lentils, potatoes, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

I typically like to keep my burgers simple, gluten-free, with just a handful of ingredients.

For a protein-packed burger (14 grams), I love going for a black bean tofu burger. 

The bottom line, there’s a veggie burger for everyone out there. We’ve whipped together a delicious list of plant-based burgers to enjoy during this summer.
