Believe it or not, these hearty veggie burgers come together in less than 20 minutes and are incredibly easy to make. The shallots, cannellini beans, breadcrumbs, fresh cilantro, eggs, almonds, paprika, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper are all combined in a food processor to quickly form the patties. Then they're pan-seared in a skillet until browned, which should only take about 8 minutes. The sauce for the burgers features mayonnaise, paprika, coriander, and cumin, spices that also flavor the patties. Simply top the veggie burgers with some sliced red onion, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce leaves, or frankly whatever you like to have on your burger (we won't judge!), and they're ready to serve.
