  1. I see in the picture you served the burger with the sun-dried tomatoes on top. Did you also mix them into the burger? Also, if I plan on making these the day before do you think they’ll last in the fridge or should I go ahead and freeze them? Thanks, looking forward to trying this!

    1. Yep! The sun-dried tomatoes are mixed into the burger. The ones in the photo are for garnish. 🙂 And if you are making them just a day in a advance they should be ok in the fridge. Beyond that and I would be inclined to freeze them. I would also recommend stacking the patties with wax paper in between and wrapping with foil or plastic wrap to minimize exposure to air. So glad to hear you are excited to try these. Let us know what you think!

      1. These are so good. I’m making them for a second time. This time I’m going to double the recipe and freeze half so that we’ll have them on hand. I think I’ll flash freeze the burgers first before putting them in the ziplocks so that they don’t stick together.

  2. To cook them after freezing, do I need to thaw them first? I can’t remember if that is usually spelled out in each recipe or if it’s assumed that everything will be thawed before cooking on serving day.

    1. Heidi, we usually recommend that you thaw prior to cooking. However, I have cooked these burgers before on a lower heat, (and added additional time as needed) from frozen and they did fine.

    1. We haven’t tried that, but you certainly could! You might just need to add a bit of extra liquid to make up for the oil in the tomatoes. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out!

    1. Our shopping list tells you the exact amount of spinach you would need based on the amount of servings you choose but it would be about 1 1/2 cups of spinach is about 2 ounces.

  3. I think the nutritional information on this recipe needs to be double checked. When I put this recipe into my meal planner, I get much different values… especially on the Carb count. (24 total carbs?) If the carb count was accurate (and I’m sure it can’t be) , this recipe should not be tagged as “keto”.

    1. Hi Kristen,
      We double checked the nutrition information and it is accurate. We use the ESHA Food Processor Nutrition Analysis Software which is the gold standard among dietitians – and doesn’t allow for values to be input by the general public, which can sometimes cause variants in the values you see. I hope this is helpful info for you.
