How to make Millet Burgers

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the millet under cold water. Combine with water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and cook until fluffy. Let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the grated carrot and zucchini, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, mix cooked millet, sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, soy sauce, nutritional yeast (if using), salt, and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Form the mixture into burger patties.

  5. Step 5

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. Step 6

    Toast buns if desired, then assemble burgers with preferred toppings.
