Even though summer might be coming to an end, that still doesn’t mean that I am putting my grill away…yet. Now you might be thinking, what do you grill when you don’t eat meat? Friends, there is a whole lotta stuff you can throw on the grill and it’s a whole lotta fun if you ask me! But I do enjoy some traditional grillin’ foods too, like a good (new) ol’ burger, like these cumin-spiced Falafel Burgers.
When I am craving a burger, my newest obsession is some kind of falafel burger. They are simple to make, delicious, extremely versatile, and always fill me up way more than I think they will. Falafel burgers are a great way to have a nutritious, plant- based meal in just 20 minutes. No- seriously!
This Cumin Falafel Burger with Avocado Cream is all of those things and then some. It’s loaded with protein and only requires 7 ingredients! You could easily bake these on a rainy day, but go ahead and try them on the grill too!

The thing I love most about these Cumin Falafel Burgers is they’re pretty basic, so you can get creative with your toppings- tomato, lettuce, onion, ketchup, mustard… (you decide your falafel burger destiny), but they sure aren’t lacking in the flavor department. I hope you like these falafel burgers and as always,
