10 Vegan Burgers for Your Hot Grill Summer

Back in the day, “the day” meaning the 1990s, we really didn’t know how to make vegan burgers that could withstand a grill and it wasn’t until fairly recently that they were commercially available. As if being the vegan at the grill-out wasn’t awkward enough, having your burger break in dry, sad pieces to be engulfed in flames upped the ante a bit. So we resigned ourselves to our vegan weenies in cans and drowned our sorrows in mustard. Anyway, the point is, things are much, much better for the vegan burgers in general these days, not just what can be purchased, but recipe developers have been busy innovating some really tasty burgers that can withstand the grill. (Oh, the hot dogs are so much better, too.)

If you’re wanting to practice your burger flipping skillz before the end of summer, give one of these recipes a try. Some feature beans, some grains, some mushrooms, some nuts, some wheat gluten, but with an open mind and a willingness to give it a try, you should find a grillable vegan burger that is perfect for you. Don’t forget: The condiments are where it’s at, too!
