Eating Healthy Frozen Vegetable Burgers

By Marissa Velazquez


With the total increase in health awareness these days, many people have shunned hamburgers because of all the health controversies surrounding this dish. Because of this health trend that has popped up in the past few years, many people have turned to vegetables for their daily meals instead of ground meat with bread. It is because of this that manufacturers came up with a new product that is also known as frozen vegetable burgers.

Now for those who are weight conscious, veggie patties are actually better for weight loss as compared to meat patties. Veggie patties, even though processed, actually still contain less calories than the average processed hamburger patty that one may find in grocery stores. So if one enjoys eating juicy hamburgers and would want to lose weight, then try a vegan burger instead.

Now for burger connoisseurs out there, veggie patties are actually really delicious because of the exotic flavors that they have. Since there are so many types of vegetables that may be used, then there are so many different tastes to play around with. There are Moroccan, Asian, and even Middle Eastern style veggie patties.

Now just for those who do not know how to make these kinds of things, then here are some steps and methods on how to make these patties. When frying with a pan, one has to make sure he has a non stick frying pan or at least some non stick liquid to spray on the pan. First, he would have to put the patty on the pan and just fry them over a medium fire for around five minutes.

The second option would be to use a microwave in order to cook the patty. In order to use the microwave oven, all one has to do would be to out the piece on a microwave tray, put it in the microwave, and live it there for a max of two minutes. If one does not own a microwave, then he may use an oven instead.

Another alternative to that would be to use a charcoal grill in order to cook the burger patty. This could actually give the patty a more char grilled taste which is actually more delicious than the regular burger that comes from the two above mentioned methods. In order to do this, one just has to put the burger on a grill and cook them for five minutes each side.

All that is left to do here now is to add some condiments or other ingredients inside. A veggie burger would usually go really well with other vegetables as well such as lettuce or tomatoes and maybe even some carrots or cabbages. Of course ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise may also be added inside the burger as well.

So as one can see, frozen vegetable burgers are healthier alternatives as compared to meat burgers and are also equally easy to make. So if one is weight conscious but enjoys eating, then this will be a great replacement in the diet. It is also healthier than ground beef which is what is usually used for ordinary burger patties that are served in most fast food restaurants.
