And of course you need to serve with some fries – some lovely root veg ones here; potatoes, sweet potato and parsnip for extra taste.
This is the perfect meal to make for Father’s Day or eating alfresco this summer.
Got to say I’m just proud of these juicy little mushroom burgers. I hope you love them as well.
Much love, Niki xxx

Instructions
To make the fries
Pre - heat your oven to 180c.
Add the veg to a large roasting pan with the olive oil, salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder.
Roast for 20 minutes, then turn. Continue to roast for a further 20 minutes or until the veg is cooked and golden brown.
To make the caramelised onions
First, cook the onions by adding the oil and sliced onion to a medium pan.
Fry on a low heat until soft and caramelised - approx 12-15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Turn off the heat.
To make the burgers
Add the oil and onion to a frying pan and cook for 6-8 minutes to soft. Now add the garlic and spices and cook for a further minute.
Add the onion mix along with all the ingredients apart from the flour to a food processor.
Blitz until you get a chunky paste.
Now transfer to a large bowl along with the flour. Stir to combine.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat a little oil and spoon 1 heaped tbsp of the mixture into the pan and flatten and spread out to a round burger shape.
Repeat - remember to leave enough room to flip the burgers.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly brown.
Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture.
To serve
Top the buns with hummus, little gem, burgers, caramelised onions, and toppings of choice.

Hi there, I can’t have soy so what would you suggest as an alternative for the tofu (? beans or lentils/rice?), or would the texture be too negatively impacted. Thanks so much for any suggestions.

Hi there
Its the tofu which gives them the squidgy texture. You could try lentils though!xxx
