    Butternut Squash + Bean Burgers | Make these vegetarian patties with roasted butternut squash, beans, vegetables and spices for a healthy dinner.

    Butternut Squash & Bean Burgers

    Finishing up with my Butternut Squash theme, today's recipe is for Butternut Squash & Bean Burgers. If you have the squash in your fridge from the How to Roast Butternut Squash post, then this recipe comes together pretty quickly. It's a really flavorful vegetarian burger option. We make them and freeze them and then they are available for my vegetarian daughter to defrost any time the rest of us are having turkey burgers (or anything else not vegetarian).

    With your squash pre-cooked, all that's left to do is quickly fry up the onion, celery, and garlic to soften them up a bit, and then mix everything together. I like to form turkey burgers and veggie burgers with wet hands.  I find it so much easier than having the mixture stick to me. After the patties are formed, pan-fry them until cooked, and then either serve them or freeze them for another time.

      This looks great! It’s nice to see something other than the same-old, same-old maple/cinnamon/something-sweet ideas when it comes to starchy winter squashes. Thanks for the info on storage, too. I’ll definitely be trying that method!

      Thank you so much for information about this technique! My first time using my indoor grill and the chicken turned out fantastic!! Your instructions were easy to follow and yielded results even better than what I had hoped for. I look forward to delving deeper into your blog and learning even more. Thanks again:)
