Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Cook broccoli and potatoes. Add broccoli florets and diced potatoes to a saucepan. Fill it with water, then bring to a boil and boil until potatoes are soft.

Step 2: Add ingredients to a food processor. Place broccoli, potatoes, shallots, bell pepper, and egg to your food processor and pulse until everything is combined. Then, transfer everything to a bowl and stir in the cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper by hand.

Step 3: Use your hands to form mixture into 6 burgers. Add oil to a large skillet, then pan-fry the burgers until they’re golden brown on both sides.

FAQs and Tips

Can these burgers be made vegan?

Yep! Simply use a flax egg in place of the egg and use vegan cheddar cheese. Alternatively, you can completely omit the cheese, but it does add more flavor to these burgers, so if you’re going to omit it, I recommend serving the burgers with a flavorful sauce.

How should I store these?

Store burgers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze: wait for burgers to cool, then place them in a plastic bag in the freezer for up to 2 months.
