At One Green Planet, we’re all about veggie burgers and for good reason! With over 150 burger recipes, there’s truly something for everyone. From beets and mushrooms to lentils, quinoa, and beans, these plant-based patties are as versatile as they are delicious.
Veggie burgers make for the perfect weeknight meal; they are quick, freezer-friendly, and great for grilling when summer hits. And with so many options available in stores today, it’s easy to get lost in the freezer aisle trying to pick the right one.
