Veggie Burgers with Courgette and Corn

This vibrant vegetarian courgette and sweetcorn burger offers a refreshing alternative to traditional meat-free patties. Combining nutrient-dense millet or quinoa with the sweetness of fire-roasted corn and fresh garden basil, these burgers are packed with satisfying textures. The addition of grated courgette ensures a moist, savoury centre, while the zesty lime and basil mayonnaise provides a bright, creamy finish that cuts through the richness of the melted white cheddar.

Perfect for a healthy midweek dinner or a weekend barbecue, these homemade patties are as nutritious as they are delicious. Serving them with lightly charred onion rings and smashed avocado adds a professional touch to your home cooking. Because they are firmed up in the freezer before frying, they hold their shape beautifully in the pan, making them a reliable choice for those looking for the ultimate plant-based burger experience.

  • 1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped

  • 120ml cornmeal

  • 350ml (packed) coarsely grated courgette (from about 1 medium courgette), squeezed to remove excess water, divided

  • 80ml white beans, rinsed, divided

  • 60ml frozen corn (preferably fire-roasted) , thawed, divided

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus more for brushing

  • 180ml cooked millet or white quinoa

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped basil, divided

  • 1 colher de chá de sal kosher, dividido

  • 1 colher de chá de pimenta-do-reino moída na hora, dividida

  • 80ml de maionese

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

  • 1 1/2 colheres de chá de suco de limão fresco

  • 4 slices white cheddar

  • 4 hamburger buns

  • Green leaf lettuce, (for serving)

  • 1 avocado, cubed, lightly smashed

Cut onion in half crosswise. Slice one-half into 1/4" rings; set aside. Finely chop remaining onion. Pulse chopped onion, garlic, cornmeal, 180ml courgette, 2 tablespoons beans, and 2 tablespoons corn in a food processor until finely chopped, 30–45 seconds.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chopped onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to soften and thicken, 3–4 minutes. Add remaining 180ml courgette and cook, stirring occasionally, until courgette begins to soften and become translucent, 3–4 minutes more.

Transfer mixture to a large bowl and gently mix in millet, 1/4 cup basil, 3/4 teaspoons salt, 3/4 teaspoons pepper, and the remaining beans and corn until well combined. Form mixture into 4 (1"-thick) patties. Cover with plastic and freeze 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup basil in a small bowl; set aside.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Toss reserved onion rings with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Cook onion rings until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.

Brush patties all over with oil. Cook, flipping once, until medium brown and toasted, about 7 minutes on each side; add 1 slice cheese to each during last 3 minutes of cooking. Transfer onions and burgers to a plate. Toast buns until golden brown, about 30 seconds.

Place 1 piece lettuce on each bottom bun and top with a burger. Top with onions. Spread 1 tablespoon basil mayonnaise on each top bun, add smashed avocado, and close sandwiches.
