The burgers are have a smokey flavor, and are dense and filling, making them perfect for a vegetarian burger fix.

These patties are vegan save for the breadcrumbs. If you want to keep it vegan, you can try skipping the bread crumbs and using quinoa flakes or corn meal instead. You can also try leaving out the bread crumbs and add a little extra oil to the pan to keep the patties from sticking as they cook. These are a bit on the delicate side so I wouldn't toss them on the BBQ grill unless you use a mesh rack.

I served these on hamburger buns topped with sprouts, lettuce, roasted red pepper, and chipotle mayonaise. Add some chips and one of these homemade salsas or guacamole and you're set!
