The Drive-In Walnut Burger is a vegetarian take on the classic burger combination. This recipe swaps ground beef for a mixture of walnuts and garbanzo beans, which provides a rich and nutty flavor. To save on calories and saturated fat, this recipe bakes the patties in the oven rather than frying them on the stove. The crispiness of the toasted buns pairs perfectly with the softness of the walnut burger patty, while the honey mustard dressing provides a tangy kick to the dish. This burger is a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking to try a healthy and delicious alternative to beef burgers.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 450°F.
2.Pulse together walnuts, garbanzo beans, breadcrumbs, grill seasoning, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes in a food processor until finely ground.
3.Add vinegar, oil, and egg to walnut mixture, then pulse until just combined.
4.Form mixture into four 4-inch patties, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5.Bake patties in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and warmed through.
6.Meanwhile, toast hamburger buns and prepare toppings.
7.Assemble burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and honey mustard as desired.
