by

The Broccoli Burger is a wholesome and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers, offering a flavorful blend of cheddar cheese, broccoli, and spices. Paired with a creamy garlic aioli, this veggie-packed burger is perfect for anyone looking for a nutritious yet satisfying meal.

  1. Ingredients:

For the Burger Patties:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

For the Garlic Aioli:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Burger Assembly:

  • 4 whole wheat or regular burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomato
  • Pickles (optional)

Directions:

  1. To make the burger patties, combine the steamed and finely chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the garlic aioli by combining the mayonnaise, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  5. Once the patties are done, toast the burger buns lightly in the same pan for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
  6. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a broccoli patty, a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and pickles (if using). Place the top half of the bun on top.
  7. Serve the broccoli burgers immediately with your favorite side dish.
