It just wouldn’t be summer withoutburgers. These nicely grilled and perfectly topped buns are part of what makes the warm months so great. But if you’re looking to eat healthy — or if you just don’t eat meat — than you’re unable to partake in the best grill outs of the season. We’re here to right that wrong with veggie burgers.

The awesome thing about veggie burgers is that they’re incredibly versatile. You can make them with nearly any vegetable that’s in season during the summer. There is a catch: a good veggie burger is hard to come by. So many times can these meat-less burgers be dry, bland or just disintegrate in your hands. That’s why we set out to find the greatest veggie burger recipes we could find, ones that even meat-eaters would enjoy. We were wildly successful. Try any of the 17 recipes below and you’ll see what we mean.
