Eating Healthy Frozen Vegetable Burgers

By Marissa Velazquez


Everyone is probably familiar with frozen burger patties that just need to be heated up a little bit in order to be enjoyed by those who like to eat hamburgers. Of course now that the health trend is slowly increasing, more and more people have been switching to frozen vegetable burgers instead of the usual meat patties. This way, vegans or vegetarians may actually enjoy what meat eaters are also enjoying.

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.

Of course if one is after the taste of the burger, then one will actually enjoy eating these things because of the exotic taste. Now there are so many vegetables that may be used in making these things which means more flavors to experiment with. One may even try out those patties that come in Mexican, Spanish, or Asian flavors.

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.

Of course aside from that, one may also make use of a microwave to heat them up. In order to do this, one has to just put the patty in a dish and leave it inside the microwave for around one and a half minute. Now another alternative to the microwave would be the normal oven.

The last method that will be mentioned would actually be the grilling method which is actually the best. Using a charcoal grill will actually produce a really charred taste that can be found in some really good burgers. Now to do this, one just has to put the patty on the grill and cook both of the sides for around five minutes.

Once the patty has already been made, then the last part in the process would be to put some toppings and extra stuff. Since this is a veggie burger, then some other vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, or even coleslaw may be added. Other condiments that may be added would be some mayonnaise or some ketchup.

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.
