Veggie Burgers to Convert Any Carnivore
Whether your base of choice is a legume-and-grain blend or a convincing meat alternative, you can make a super savory and satisfying veggie burger that eaters of all dietary persuasions will love. Try our three go-to plant-based burger recipes, plus the french fries, pickles, and ice cream that will complete your feast.
BURGERS
Black Bean Chipotle Burgers
The black beans are delightfully deceiving, making this vegan version look like the real thing—and taste even better.
Cannellini Bean and Quinoa Burgers
Cannellini beans and quinoa make a hearty base for this burger, and the fennel and cumin keep it savory.
The Plant-Based Big-ish Mac
Our version of the famous burger is just a single-decker, but other than that, it’s a convincing and delicious dupe.
FRIES
Air Fryer French Fries
This recipe is a little involved—it requires a soak and a double fry—but you’ll get a pillowy-tender interior and a super crispy exterior.
Butternut Squash Fries
We like the savory-sweet nature of a squash fry. They’re a big hit with kids and adults alike.
PICKLES
Pickled Green Beans
Green beans make for great pickles—they stay snappy and crisp even after brining.
Bread-and-Butter-Style Pickles with Turmeric
Bread-and-butter pickles tend to skew a bit sweet, so we reined it in for this version.
ICE CREAM
Matcha Ice Cream
This frozen treat is super rich thanks to the classic custard base. The earthy, almost vegetal flavor of matcha provides a nice counterbalance.
Salted Caramel Date Shake
An homage to those famous date shakes from Palm Springs—sans dairy.
Kombucha Float with Cherries and Whipped Cream
The whipped cream and cherry on top give this New Age float an old-school vibe.
