Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Place everything except the flour in a food processor or blender and blend until almost smooth. You can leave it a little chunky so that vegetable pieces still remain visible.
- Next, add in a little of your flour (1/4 cup coconut or gluten-free flour) and pulse gently to mix. If the batter is too thin, add a little more flour. You want to make sure the batter can hold together.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the veggie/nut mixture into 6-8 burgers. I made mine about 1/2 inch thickness and about the size of the palm of my hand. Flatten and place on the cookie sheet. They will not expand so you can line them up close.
- Bake about 15 minutes on one side, then gently take a spatula and flip them to their other side.
- Bake again another 10 minutes or so. Burgers will be a little golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges when they are finished.
- Feel free to freeze them in foil or parchment paper but let them cool first before doing so.
