It's summertime and we're sharing our fave way to use any pulp (carrots, beets, you name it!) to make a delicious homemade veggie patty that *actually* holds together with our fave recipe developer, Aleigh Michelle.
And this is going to sound crazy... but you know what a customer (shout out, Thomas!) suggested? Make mini patties and use our grain-free Pulp Chips as the burger buns. Sounds crazy, but it's kind of fun to make mini burger sandwiches with the chips and we highly recommend for parties as a bite-size snack.
People always ask us, what can I do with my juice pulp at home? What are some go-to recipes for juice pulp?
Pulp Pantry to the rescue :) If using pulp - simply swap out the raw beets with your pulp, bake for just 5-10 minutes to boost the flavor -- and follow the steps to mix the burger "batter". Enjoy on a summer day with good company.
