[directions title=”Directions”]
- Preheat the oven to 475°F.
- Combine the carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, scallions, eggs, pecans, thyme, garlic, salt, hot sauce, sesame oil, and pepper in a large bowl and stir to thoroughly combine the mixture. Add 1 cup of the matzo meal, or more as needed, to make a firm, but still moist mixture. Form into 8 burgers. Dredge each burger in the remaining 2 cups of matzo meal.
- Oil a baking sheet with the olive oil. Place the burgers on the sheet and bake, turning once, until browned and crisp at the edges, about 12 minutes.
