The days of healthy food tasting like an experiment are long gone. Burgers, desserts and other so called sinful treats have been recreated so they have more nutrients but still have the flavor of the classics. When it comes to meals that are easy to prepare, as well as the waistline, frozen vegetable burgers are becoming the new staple.

These have improved greatly in recent. There are many varieties and textures that taste just like meat or pack enough flavors so the meat is never missed. The other advantage is that these cook faster than meat varieties and can also be placed on a grill for smoky flavor.

Because vegetables are often light in texture, some patties may use grains or proteins for sustenance or texture. Sometimes vegetables like mushrooms or squash may be used as a base. Reading the package is highly encouraged if one has concerns about allergies or preferences.

At one time, mass produced frozen foods were inexpensive but recommended for occasional consumption. This was due to the high levels of sodium or use of preservatives that could extend it shelf life into months, or even a couple of years from the time it was packaged. To some, they lacked the flavor of a home cooked meal.

Burger patties made from vegetables are just as versatile as meat versions. Condiments like mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, or mustard can be added along with a favorite cheese slice. Adding more vegetables like pickles and tomatoes not only adds flavor but makes it more filling.

If one has doubts about trying vegetable burgers, they should try a variety that contains their favorite ingredients. From there, they can prepare it the same way they would fix a burger patty made from beef or poultry. They may find that it would taste better sauteed in a pan or over an open fire. While baking is the least fattening method of preparation, sometimes cooking with a light coat of oil that does not burn quickly.

Cooking an entire package is a good idea if someone is cooking for another family member or may eat for lunch in the next day or two. It costs less than eating out and is filling without feeling heavy. Once a preferred method of preparation is set, these veggie patties can be reheated in a few minutes.

Ideal sides are green salads, mushroom or zucchini fries. Fried sweet potatoes are becoming a healthier alternative to fried white potatoes because of their fiber content and higher levels of antioxidants. If a person is looking to cut fat or caloric intake, they could look into new ways to prepare vegetables, such as using less oil or adding a reduced fat cheese as a topper.

This type of diet only tastes guilty but offers many health benefits. Reduced calories, increased natural fiber and more nutrients can only lead to more energy and less chance of elevated cholesterol or high blood pressure. These frozen vegetarian burgers are also inexpensive, easy to make and are full of flavor.
