Ed. note: this post was originally published in May 2019, but we wanted to bring it out of the archives in hopes that it inspires you to create delicious, plant-based meals during your time quarantined at home during COVID-19. We can’t wait until the day we are able to host bbq parties with friends again, but until then, we are trying out best to celebrate the season at home in our own backyards!
Whether you’re a meat eater or not, the idea of a delicious, juicy burger at a summer barbecue just feels right. There are few things that scream the season more than firing up the grill and sipping a cocktail while you watch the sunset and cook dinner outside. Good conversation, good vibes, and most importantly, a meal that will leave you with that unbeatable sunshine-y feeling. If the typical meat and bun situation isn’t your thing, a plant-based burger may be the answer.
While meat free might not always be your go-to, chances are that one of these tasty, veggie filled burgers will land a spot on the menu at your next outdoor barbecue. And these recipes will make your vegetarian friends really happy.
