- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 tbsp of carrot shredded
- 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp onion chopped
- 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add taro root and garlic powder, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix in carrots, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper; remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Combine onion and soy sauce in a separate bowl; stir into taro root mixture.

- Toast burger buns in the toaster or oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Assemble burgers with patty, and fill with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Grate the taro root for an extra crunchy texture.
- Use freshly toasted buns for added flavor and texture.
- Try adding a few drops of hot sauce for extra spice.
- Add slices of tomato or avocado.
- Serve with lettuce and onion for an added crunch.
- If you don’t like taro, try using sweet potatoes instead.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt as a topping.
- If you are looking to make your burger vegan, use plant-based cheese and condiments such as hummus or avocado instead of dairy products.
- Try adding a few slices of bacon.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat buns.
- Grill the taro burger patties on an outdoor grill for added smokiness.
- For a low-carb option, try using lettuce wraps instead of buns.
