Zucchini Ribbon and Sun-Dried Tomato Green Veggie Burgers

These zucchini ribbon and sun-dried tomato green veggie burgers are a delicious and healthy way to get your veggie fix. They're made with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, parsley, flaxseed, and tahini, and they're roasted until tender. The burgers are then formed and served on whole-wheat buns.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover zucchini. I had been roasting zucchini for a while, and I was starting to get bored with the same old recipes. I decided to try something different and added some sun-dried tomatoes, onion, parsley, flaxseed, and tahini to the mix. The result was a delicious and healthy veggie burger that's perfect for summer cookouts.
