These White Bean Burgers with Carrots, Peanuts have amazing flavor! They are topped roasted Butternut squash or sweet potato tossed in sweet and sour sauce!. Fantastic Asian fusion Peanut Bean patties. Serve as Burgers or make a bowl with greens. Vegan, Gluten free Option. This recipe was originally published march 31,2017
Are we all ready for Summer! Which means outdoor activities, sun, and burgers! I changed up the veggie burger game from the usual black bean and herb or chili seasoned patties to these frantically delicious fusion Peanut and White Bean Burgers topped with roasted squash or sweet potato that is tossed in sweet and sour sauce and sriracha. They are hearty, moist, have layers of flavor!
As with most veggie burgers, these can easily be made into wraps or served in a bowl with greens and more of the sweet sour sriracha dressing. These patties with Peanuts, carrots, celery are crunchy, peanutty and fun. Use other nuts or toasted sunflower seeds or pepitas to make nut-free. A dressing of sweet sour or a bbq sauce take these to another level.
Make these patties and let me know on Instagram or hear how you served them! Below are baked patties.

Instructions
- Add the peanuts to a food processor and Pulse the peanuts until coarse meal(a few broken peanuts are fine, do not over process). Add carrots and celery (and ginger and garlic if using fresh)and pulse until finely chopped . Add the beans and pulse until half of the beans are mashed.
- Remove from the processor to a bowl. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, agave, sriracha, peanut butter, sesame seeds, flaxmeal(and ginger garlic paste if using paste form). Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust spice, sweet and salt. You might need salt if the beans were unsalted. Add 2 Tbsp flour and mix well. the dough should not be too sticky or too dry (slightly sticky, moist but not wet dough works best). Add more flour if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc. Shape into patties using a cookie cutter. Press 1/3 cup of the mixture into a 3 inch cookie cutter. Press to pack well then push through onto parchment to make 3 inch by 3/4 inch patties. Brush oil on top and bake for 20 mins at 400 F/ 200ºc. Flip and bake for 5 more minutes if needed. Brush with bbq sauce or hot sauces Or pan fry over medium heat with a bit of oil, until golden brown on both sides (2-3 mins per side)
- Roasted sweet potato or butternut squash: pan fry the sweet potato or butternut for 3 mins over medium heat. Cover with a lid and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked. Then toss with bbq sauce or sweet and sour sauce. For the picture I paired these with roasted butternut tossed in My sweet and sour sauce + sriracha and crunchy cabbage. See recipe note for sauce recipe. Other combinations could be roasted butternut or sweet potato cubes tossed in bbq sauce, mango cubes tossed in sweet bbq sauce. both of these enhance the flavors of the patty.
- To tone down the flavors of the patties, pair them with cole slaw, sriracha mayo or ranch dressing. Make it into a bowl with smaller patties, roasted veggies, lettuce or other crunchy greens, and sauces from above.
- Store: The patties can be refrigerated for upto 4 days. Reheat on a skillet or air fryer.

3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar , 2 teaspoons ketchup, 1/2 garlic powder, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 cup water . Add 2 tsp sriracha or 1/2 tsp pepper flakes for spicier sweet sour dressing .

I want to move into your FB page and eat everything you post. That simple.
wow, this is beautiful
So good. My new favorite veggie burger. Immensely better than the frozen ones from the store. I used chickpeas instead of white beans.
awesome!
They look and sound really good. 🙂 Is it possible to form them by hand, or do you need the cookie cuter, because they will fall apart without?
yes you can, just pack them well and bake them. baking allows for less sturdy burgers which might be prone to breaking if pan fried
Ehrm… Just yum! This looks so amazing! I’m always on the lookout for great vegan burgers so I’ll definitely give this one a try!
What can be substitute for sriracha if we don’t have it? Likewise can u suggest some Indian toppings?
You can use imli chutney. the date tamarind chutney is similar profile as sweet and sour sauce or bbq saue here, so in general you can substitute that depending on the recipe. For sriracha, you can use any of the hot chile garlic sauce options here like hot and sweet sauce or chili sauce. use toppings that you normally use in burgers or with cutlets. some sliced tomato, onion, cucumber, cilantro etc.
I made these with whatever I had and they turned out amazing. The pairing with with roasted butternut is perfect!
Awesome!
My eyes got huge when I saw this. i think i already have most of the ingredients on hand already. and carrots are one of my FAVE veggie burger ingredients. I’m definitely trying this next time that I’m craving a veg burg and am too lazy to come up with my own. Pinning!
Thanks!
