15 Underrated Plant-Based Toppings To Upgrade Your Veggie Burger
BY CAROLINE DINICOLA
Pickled Beets
Beets are incredibly sweet with earthy notes and can be a great topping for veggie burgers, especially pickled ones, which add a fermented yet tangy and sweet flavor.
Hash Browns
If you're in the mood for a heavier, greasier, and brunch-ier plant-based sandwich, consider adding a layer of hash browns to your veggie burger.
Cashew Queso
Cashew queso is made by mixing cashew cream with yeast, turmeric, and veggies. It's a great way to add saltiness and heat to your favorite veggie burger.
Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut balances nicely with sweet sauces but is classically paired with salty foods. It can be treated like pickles, either as a substitute or in tandem.
Shaved Zucchini
Shaved zucchini is the perfect way to add crunch to your burger and can be loosely piled on the patty to create a beautiful, ribbon-like appearance.
