Tempeh Veggie Burger

(26)
"FINALLY I made a homemade veggie burger that doesn’t fall apart when I bit into it? This was inspired by @wholesomesoybean’s black bean tempeh burger, but I added extra spices because ya girl needs that extra flavor. I also placed a mix of my leftover cheesy sauce (seen on my burrito a couple days ago) and my vegan ranch all over the place and let me just say THAT FLAVOR COMBO IS BOMB ?? ?"
