Quick Weight Watchers Veggie Burger Recipe
Quick Weight Watchers Veggie Burger Recipe. This vegetarian burger is the perfect alternative to traditional meat patties, packed with ingredients like garbanzo beans, tofu, and quick oats.
High in protein and fiber, these burgers the perfect meatless lunch or dinner option.
When it comes to ingredients, simplicity is the name of the game. Basic yet flavorful components such as basil, garlic powder, and sage amp up the taste without complicating things.
These burgers pair well with whole-grain buns, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of your favorite sauce.
For a side dish, sweet potato fries or a simple green salad complements the burgers well.
A couple of pro tips for you: First, make sure to drain the tofu thoroughly. The less water, the better the texture. Second, don’t rush the cooking process.
A medium-high heat ensures your burgers cook evenly and acquire that much-desired crispy exterior.
