How Guy Fieri Makes His Veggie Burgers Totally One-Of-A-Kind - Tasting Table

"Inspired by his late sister's preferences for vegetarian and vegan meals, Fieri got to work perfecting a meatless burger that debuted on his show "Guy's Big Bite". Boasting 21 ingredients, the burger was a stunner, and a true one-of-a-kind. Grains, spices, veggies, and herbs are mixed together to create Fieri's elaborate recipe, and all ingredients are incorporated with a precise method of preparation and assembly."

"Instead of opting for one kind of bean, Fieri compiles a mixture of drained black and white beans and chickpeas to combine with vegetables to form patties. For binders, Fieri uses rolled oats, seasoned bread crumbs, and flax eggs. Vegetables include diced red onion, red bell peppers, jalapeños, garlic, and sauteed diced artichoke, which provide gentle sweetness and earthy layers to the burger's texture and taste."

Guy Fieri developed a 21-ingredient meatless burger inspired by his late sister's vegetarian and vegan preferences. The recipe uses a blend of drained black and white beans and chickpeas as the protein base. Binders include rolled oats, seasoned bread crumbs, and flax eggs to achieve patty cohesion. Vegetables such as diced red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeños, garlic, sauteed artichoke, and black olives add sweetness, earthiness, and texture. Vegetables are sweated and garlic is added late to prevent burning. Fresh spices are emphasized and ground together for even flavor. Burgers are finished with LTOP, fried onions, vegan Donkey Sauce, and a cashew nutritional yeast cheese sauce.
