I made these on New Years Day as the start to the Eat In challenge. First recipe of yours that I tried and it was a huge success. I too substituted sweet potato instead and used a crumbled up slice of sourdough bread (slightly old but hadn’t gone bad as I need to finish up the loaf) instead of breadcrumbs. Didn’t have a food processor so I chopped all the veggies up small and then mashed everything together. Absolutely fantastic and smelled amazing. I’ve been using the leftovers as sandwiches for work. As a vegetarian, this recipe is super as it covers the protein I need. You got me hooked to your site after I made these. Thanks for a great blog!

I really like the burgers as well. I used sweet potato and subbed the breadcrumbs for oat flour and it took a while longer to cook…..but they were nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I also added some steamed broccoli into the mix. This recipe is a keeper!

I’m so glad to hear you and your family are enjoying the recipes! Thanks for sharing your tip about re-heating the frozen patties in the toaster. That’s a great shortcut! Btw, I’m hoping to make some new quinoa burger flavors in the near future.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I so LOVE this recipe! I was able to whip it up with my pantry items on the dime. I only subed red beans for the black. Also, while I had to bake mine for a longer time the patties came out small enough that I can reheat the frozen ones in my toaster!!!! I am a new Vegan and thus far this is the only veggie burger I can actually enjoy! Thanks so Much. P.S. I also made the balls and my kids are really loving them too.

Can’t wait to try it! I’ve ate Quinoa a couple times because I’ve been transitioning into a vegan diet for the past couple months and I’m getting to the point to where it is getting easier for me to make great tasting, healthy vegan food on a daily basis and get so many nutrients. So far all I’ve done with quinoa was add it to rotini pasta which it does really well with and quite fulfilling.

These look and sound fantastic! I am doing a gluten-free cooking class with a friend in about a month, and the whole thing is going to be cooking with quinoa…breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack! I think these would be fabulous! I’m going to try with sweet potato as many people at the class are also following the blood type diet, and many are type O. No white potatoes for them! Thanks for sharing…print this off now.

These look great! Love your use of potato. I wonder how sweet potato would work for even more of a nutritional boost!

Hey! I haven’t tried freezing the burgers before, so I’m not 100% sure. I would probably cook them before freezing since they shouldn’t take long to re-heat. They may stay together better that way. You could always try half the batch each way & see what you prefer? HTH, Diana
