Ingredients

• 2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (portobello and cremini)

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the mushrooms and roast the vegetables until tender. Allow them to cool slightly.
2. Mix the Patty Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms, cooked quinoa or brown rice, roasted vegetables, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs until a firm consistency is achieved.
4. Chill the Patties: Place the patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
5. Grill the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
6. Assemble the Burgers: Serve the patties on burger buns with your choice of toppings and sauces. Enjoy!
