Frozen Vegetable Burgers Are A Great Meat Alternative

By Maria Hill


The days of healthy food tasting like an experiment are long gone. Burgers, desserts and other so called sinful treats have been recreated so they have more nutrients but still have the flavor of the classics. When it comes to meals that are easy to prepare, as well as the waistline, frozen vegetable burgers are becoming the new staple.

These have improved greatly in recent. There are many varieties and textures that taste just like meat or pack enough flavors so the meat is never missed. The other advantage is that these cook faster than meat varieties and can also be placed on a grill for smoky flavor.

Vegetarian burger patties may include grains or proteins so that it is more filling. Others may use dense or root vegetables, like Portobello mushrooms or potatoes, as the main ingredient. If one is unsure about the ingredients or whether nuts are added, they should read the packaging before buying.

Back in the day, most frozen entrees were laden with chemicals that helped extend the shelf life for months but the taste left something to be desired. Eating foods that are processed naturally not only taste better but are best for daily consumption. Many vegetarian food manufacturers operate by this standard because they want to ensure that their products are tasty every time.

These vegetarian burgers are just as versatile as meat versions. Top with favorite condiments, cheese or vegetarian style deli meats for a combination that only tastes sinful. There is also no rule that vegetables like lettuce, pickles and onions cannot be added for enhanced flavor.

If one has doubts about trying vegetable burgers, they should try a variety that contains their favorite ingredients. From there, they can prepare it the same way they would fix a burger patty made from beef or poultry. They may find that it would taste better sauteed in a pan or over an open fire. While baking is the least fattening method of preparation, sometimes cooking with a light coat of oil that does not burn quickly.

Cooking an entire package is a good idea if someone is cooking for another family member or may eat for lunch in the next day or two. It costs less than eating out and is filling without feeling heavy. Once a preferred method of preparation is set, these veggie patties can be reheated in a few minutes.

Ideal sides are green salads, mushroom or zucchini fries. Fried sweet potatoes are becoming a healthier alternative to fried white potatoes because of their fiber content and higher levels of antioxidants. If a person is looking to cut fat or caloric intake, they could look into new ways to prepare vegetables, such as using less oil or adding a reduced fat cheese as a topper.

When it comes to this type of food, a person can only win. Not only are these burger patties inexpensive but they are good for anyone looking to eat better. Finally, they are convenient to have for a quick meal that tastes good.
