Naturally, Ella has these awesome Chickpea and Spinach Veggie Burgers on her blog. So awesome, in fact, that they inspired me to try my own. However, I’m really picky when it comes to spices, so I changed her recipe up a bit. Instead of onions and oregano, I used crushed red pepper flakes (which I use on everything), and garlic.
Dress up your own veggie burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion! Or whatever toppings you would normally eat when making traditional burgers.
