Question 1

1. Can I freeze zucchini vegan burger patties?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can freeze zucchini vegan burger patties! To freeze them, form the patties as directed and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the patties for about 1-2 hours, or until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. You can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to cook, thaw them overnight in the fridge or cook them straight from frozen for about 5-6 extra minutes on each side.

Question 2

2. Can I use zucchini from the garden for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Fresh zucchini from the garden is perfect for this recipe. In fact, homegrown zucchini often has a better flavor and texture than store-bought versions. Just be sure to remove excess moisture from the zucchini after grating, as homegrown zucchini can sometimes have more water content.

Question 3

3. Can I make these zucchini vegan burgers gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make the zucchini burgers gluten-free! Simply use gluten-free breadcrumbs or substitute with ground oats or almond flour for the binding ingredients. You can also make the patties completely grain-free by using ground chickpeas or chickpea flour instead of breadcrumbs or oats.

Question 4

4. How do I make zucchini burgers crispy?

Accepted Answer

To ensure your zucchini burgers are crispy, be sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini. You can use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to wring out excess water. When frying, make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the patties, and avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause them to steam rather than crisp. If baking, cook them at a high temperature (around 375°F or 190°C) and flip halfway through to achieve even crispiness.

Question 5

5. How can I make zucchini vegan burgers spicier?

Accepted Answer

To add some heat to your zucchini vegan burgers, you can mix in chopped jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper into the patty mixture. Additionally, you can top the finished burger with spicy vegan sauces such as sriracha mayo, hot sauce, or a spicy relish for extra kick.
