    Vegetarian Teriyaki Burgers

    I love a delicious veggie burger. A veggie burger and fries (always fries!) has always been one of my favorite meals.

    I'm always looking for new recipe ideas, and I'm not afraid to admit that this Vegetarian Teriyaki Burger was inspired by pure jealousy. Ha!

    I see a lot of teriyaki burgers on restaurant menus, but they are always made with meat. It's kind of a bummer. Sometimes vegetarians get a bum wrap ... ya know?

    So after years of watching my husband eat them, I finally decided to make my own vegetarian version.

    A Teriyaki Veggie Burger served with roasted potatoes.

    I'm not sure what took me so long to create my own recipe, but this Vegetarian Teriyaki Burger was definitely worth the wait. It's seriously mouthwatering!

    How to Make Teriyaki Veggie Burgers

    These delish veggie burgers are made from a mixture of quinoa and chickpeas ... perfect for protein lovers!

    I seasoned these Teriyaki Veggie Burgers with a fragrant mix of sauteed vegetables, fresh ginger, garlic, and cilantro. These spices add tons of flavor to the finished burgers.

    Next, you'll mix everything together, and a little flour and egg to help firm the burgers up and hold everything together.

    After a quick saute, it's time for the toppings ... definitely my favorite part!

    First, there's the pineapple ... mmm!

    You'll cook the pineapple right along with the burgers. As the pineapple cooks, it caramelizes, which adds tons of flavor to the finished burgers.

    I prefer to use fresh pineapple for these Vegetarian Teriyaki Burgers, although you're welcome to use canned pineapple (affiliate link), too. If you do, then choose pineapple that's packed in juice, not heavy syrup though.

    Finally, you'll finish the burgers with a yummy teriyaki-flavored mayonnaise. I'm don't know why, but I just love mayo on burgers. (If you'd prefer a no mayo sauce, feel free to substitute to teriyaki sauce I use for my Teriyaki Tofu Bowl ... it's sooo delish!)

    This easy teriyaki sauce takes minutes to make and will have you licking your lips!

    Have I tempted you yet? I hope so! Treat yourself to these amazing Vegetarian Teriyaki Burgers tonight ... they'd be delicious paired with my Roasted Sweet Potato Fries!
