I love making these burgers with sweet potato chips and barbecue sauce. You can really taste the onions so it reminds me of summer BBQ’s. Make a batch of these in summer when your veggie friends come over. You can also freeze them after step 6, then cook them on the day.

Let me know if you tried making them, I’m on social media @adrienne_ldn
