The 3 Ingredient Tempeh Burger

The 3 Ingredient Veggie Burger

So I’ve been blogging for almost a year now and this is my very first veggie burger post! I’m surprised you all held out this long! I love veggie burgers but the stars have to align in order for me to make them. I need to have all the right left-over ingredients and no two burgers have ever been alike because I just use up what I have on hand. This is not that kind of veggie burger. This burger is made up of just three ingredients. This is the kind of burger you can quickly whip up on a weeknight. I had to hose myself and my camera off after this shoot. So much juicy goodness everywhere!

    GIRL! this is freakin’ awesome! I love homemade veggie burgers but always find them painfully time consuming. But this looks like an easy project for any night of the week!

    I just found your site through A Couple Cooks, and I’m so excited I did! Love finding new ways to use tempeh, this looks so wonderful!

    So simple. Making tonight but substituting a thick salsa for harissa (since I don’t have any harissa right now in the frig). Thanks for the idea!

      Thanks Lisa! Sometimes I use this roasted red pepper spread from trader joe’s when I don’t have harissa – it works great! A thick salsa should work fine too! Have a great weekend!
