I’ve been craving burgers and haven’t been able to find a good vegan one at the health food store. Finally, I found a way to make them at home and they taste amazing. These burgers can be eaten in a gluten free bun, in a tortilla wrap, or on top of a salad. I get my “buns” aka sandwich rolls from Srsly Bread from San Francisco. They are healthy and hearty, and oh so satisfying.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups red potatoes or sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

1/8 tsp. Black pepper

• Use a steamer pot to steam the carrots and potatoes until soft. Drain and mash until smooth, set aside.
• Mash the garbanzo beans using a fork or process quickly in a food processor.

• Mix the potatoes, carrots, and beans into the bowl and combine well.
• Form 2-3 inch thin patties and place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper on top.
