The only thing that makes these delicious brown rice burgers even better is my herbed aioli! Pair them for the BEST plant-based sandwich!
Are you ready for something incredibly delicious yet healthy after all that heavy Thanksgiving food?
Then make these brown rice burgers ASAP!! I’m telling you, it doesn’t get much better than this. I created these burgers to give my family a healthy post-Thanksgiving meal we could look forward to. And they were so good, I wanted to share the recipe right away!
These burgers are filling, healthy, tasty, and VEGAN! And they’re easily made gluten free, I’ve got the substitution in the recipe below.
What really puts these amazing brown rice burgers over the top is my herbed aioli. Seriously, this aioli is life changing! I was inspired to create it by a meal I had in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Some friends and I went out to eat at a fabulous restaurant in West Hollywood, and the sandwich I ordered came with this amazing, herb-y aioli. It was so good, I asked for some to-go! When the aioli I brought home was gone by dinner the next day, I knew I’d be creating my own spin on it. And here it is!
A quick tip on the burger patties: I fry them.
Yep, I think you really can’t beat the golden brown, crispness you get in the frying pan. (Although you could totally bake these patties if you wanted to. I haven’t done it myself yet, but I have estimated baking instructions in the recipe below.)
Having the right spatula to flip these burgers makes frying them an incredibly easy job. Here is my very favorite spatula EVER [aff. link]. I’ve mentioned this spatula before, and I’ll probably do it again in the future because it is just that good! This spatula is actually marketed as being a spatula for getting cookies off the cookie sheet, but I have found that it is perfect for all of my cooking as well. I use this spatula to sauté vegetables, stir-fry, flip veggie burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, make tofu scrambles, etc.! The smaller size makes this spatula so much easier to work with. You can find this basically magical tool here on Amazon [aff. link]!
Before I wrap it up, I wanted to say a few things about the fries in my pictures—they are homemade, they are AMAZING, and they are soooo easy! I’ll post the recipe very soon! (Hopefully later this week, and no, I haven’t forgotten about that pie crust tutorial I promised! I have the pics, just need to compile the post, so stay tuned!)
Now go treat your family to an incredibly healthy and tasty meal, and make these brown rice burgers!

What an interesting mix of ingredients! I’m intrigued by your aioli. I make one using silken tofu as the base, and I think it could easily be adapted to use your flavorings. Thanks!
Thanks Jeff! Ohh that sounds amazing, Silken Tofu is such a wonderful and versatile ingredient! I absolutely love it! I can totally see how it would make an excellent aioli.
I’d have never thought of using brown rice to make a burger Shannon, but I absolutely love the idea! I’m also now looking forward to your homemade fries recipe that accompany these brown rice burgers. My Lynne is practically vegetarian so I can’t wait to try out this whole dish on her!
Thank you Neil! Brown rice gives such a great heartiness to veggie burgers, I absolutely LOVE it as the base ingredient! The week got away from me, but I plan to put the fires up next week, they are super easy! That is awesome that your wife enjoys eating vegetarian! It’s a great way to eat. ❤️ I hope she’ll enjoy the burger and fries! Hope you both have a lovely weekend!
These patties and aioli are sooooo incredible. I’ve made this recipe twice now. The second time, I doubled the recipe for the patties and froze several for easy, quick meals. The texture and flavor packed into these patties has made them a personal and family favorite!
Thank you so so much! That’s great to know that these patties freeze well too, I’ll have to try that. 😃
