A veggie burger is a meatless alternative to traditional hamburgers, made primarily from vegetables, grains, legumes, and spices. Common ingredients include black beans, lentils, quinoa, and various vegetables like carrots and bell peppers. These burgers are often seasoned to enhance flavor and can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried.
Veggie burgers are popular among vegetarians and vegans, as well as those looking to reduce meat consumption for health or environmental reasons. They can be served on a bun with toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado, similar to a regular burger. Many restaurants and fast-food chains now offer veggie burger options to cater to diverse dietary preferences.
