Thai Green Curry Veggie Burger
Thai green curry paste, aromatics, and fresh herbs are worked into the patty mixture, bringing bold Southeast Asian flavor to a veggie burger format. The result is spicy, fragrant, and noticeably different from a standard veggie burger. It comes together in about 30 minutes and pairs well with a simple slaw or sliced cucumber.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Skillet
- Grater
- Spatula
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas cooked and drained
- 1 cup zucchini grated
- ½ cup breadcrumbs Panko preferred for extra crunch
- 2 tablespoons green curry paste store-bought or homemade
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk for creaminess
- 1 tablespoon oil for frying
- 4 large burger buns toasted
- 1 large lime cut into wedges
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Mash the chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken down with some texture remaining.
- Combine ingredients: Add grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, green curry paste, egg, and coconut milk to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties.
- Heat the skillet: Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the patties.

- Prepare buns: Toast the burger buns while patties are cooking.
Notes
Jen’s Tips
- To make this dish vegan, replace the egg with a flaxseed egg substitute (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water).
- Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of lime juice to the burger mixture before forming patties.
- For a gluten-free option, choose gluten-free breadcrumbs and burger buns.
