Ingredients

For pumpkin puree:

  • 3-4 small potato cubed
  • 4 cups butternut/pumpkin cubed

For the beans:

  • 2 cups fresh green beans chopped
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup water
  • black pepper

For the burgers (makes 1 big or 2 small burgers each)

  • 1.5 cup zucchini grated
  • 3/4 cup carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup onion very finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (certified GF if needed)
  • 1/3 cup Panko/breadcrumbs (GF if needed) or use more oats
  • sea salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg or chia/flax egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp flax/chia seeds + 3 tbsp water)
  • 2-3 tablespoons flour of your choice (GF if needed)

Instructions

  • Cook pumpkin and potatoes in boiling water until soft.
  • Heat cooking oil over medium heat. Cook onion until soft. After 2 minutes add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more, or until onions are soft. Stir regularly.
  • When soft, add green beans. Reduce heat to low. Season with black pepper. Add water and cook 15-20 minutes. Add more water if needed while cooking.
  • In meantime, make burger patties. Grate zucchini, add salt and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Combine grated carrot, zucchini, flour, oats, panko, salt, a lot of black pepper, cumin, garlic powder and egg (or egg alternative). Mix well.
  • Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat and cook patties on both sides until browned.
  • Mash potatoes and pumpkin. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Add water, butter, milk or egg if desired.

Notes

  • To save some time in the future you could make a big batch of these burger patties and freeze them for later. Line uncooked patties on a very large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with wrap and freeze the patties for about 45-60 min. Place in freezer bags. Keep parchment paper between different layers so they don't stick together.
