Packed with protein, the vegan burger patty comprises tricolour quinoa grains, a mixture of nuts and seeds, chickpea flour, grated carrot and a medley of fragrant spices.

Serve in a gluten-free roll or regular burger bun with mango chutney, extra grated carrot, and homemade potato wedges on the side.

If you want to truly wow the crowd – or post a drool-worthy burger pic to Instagram – then this one’s a winner.

Meanwhile, an edamame and matcha patty packs in plenty of plant power, with added flavour coming from kimchi and sweet miso paste.

To assemble the burger, simply stack your tofu, patty, portobello mushroom and additional vegetables. Drizzle over some homemade sweet chilli sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and dig in!
