There's nothing quite like a messy burger, is there? I love them. And what I enjoy most about veggie burgers is the endless possibility of combinations. Kale, apples, squash seed, and persimmon, are just a few of the things I have snuck into a garden burger.
They are such a great way to increase your vegetable intake, even with veggies you might not like. This burger is a favorite, however I do love butternut squash. It is slightly sweet, earthy and pretty spicy.
