This collection of gluten-free veggie burger recipes features flavorful options from some of our favorite food bloggers. Perfect for plant-based and gluten-free meals.
We love burgers. But with so many dietary restrictions out there, and in our own family, we find that we mostly eat gluten-free veggie burgers, but get bored with the same recipe every week.
We reached out to some very talented food bloggers who create impressive plant-based recipes. We asked each of them for their favorites, then put together this collection of gluten-free veggie burger recipes that stand out for taste, creativity, and reliability.
If you’re looking to change up your burger night, this list is a great place to start.
What are gluten-free veggie burgers?
Gluten-free veggie burgers are plant-based patties made without wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients. Instead of breadcrumbs or flour, they often use beans, lentils, quinoa, rice, nuts, seeds, or certified gluten-free oats or flours as binders.
The burger should hold together well, have a satisfying texture, and deliver a balanced flavor. Some are hearty and dense, while others are lighter.
Serving suggestions to go alongside a gluten-free veggie burger
We like to keep the sides simple so the burger can shine. Some of our favorites are:
- A crisp green salad with a lemon mustard dressing.
- Sweet potato fries
- Pan-fried potatoes
- Grilled corn
- Coleslaw, potato salad, or pasta salad
- Pickled cucumber salad
And, of course, a gluten-free bun, toast it lightly for better texture. (My favorite is this brioche bun)
