Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (button, cremini, or portobello)
1/2 cup finely diced onions
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (optional, for binding)
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan version)

Instructions

Prepare the mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become soft. Let them cool slightly.
Mix the vegetables and spices: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, grated carrots, diced onions, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce. Add the egg (or flax egg) and mix everything together until it forms a dough-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Form the patties: Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Chill: Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet and chill them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
Cook the patties: Heat a little more olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Serve the patties in buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a dollop of your favorite sauce.

Notes

To make these patties extra flavorful, you can sauté garlic, onions, or even a splash of balsamic vinegar along with the mushrooms.
These patties can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes if you prefer a less greasy option.
