Top 5 gluten free recipes with Impossible™ burger

Impossible™ Burger is meat, made from plants, that cooks and sizzles like ground beef from cows.* It’s a 1:1 substitute that can be used in any recipe, from burgers to tacos, chili, ravioli, dumplings, and anything you can come up with really! We spent years researching what makes meat taste like meat (hint it’s a molecule called heme) and then created our cult classic by using a variety of plant-based ingredients, vitamins and minerals. One thing we made sure not to include? Wheat. 

Impossible Burger is certified gluten free so that if you have a wheat allergy, you can still enjoy our mouthwatering meat made from plants. While there are a lot of  Impossible Burger fans out there that use it in recipes containing gluten, we still have plenty of choices for tasty, gluten-free recipes that are ideal for those with gluten sensitivities. Here are five of our top gluten-free recipes with Impossible Burger. We fully recommend trying them all!

CHIMICHURRI IMPOSSIBLE™ LETTUCE CUPS FROM HAVEN'S KITCHEN RECIPE

If we’re being honest, this recipe is basically a great excuse to enjoy Haven’s Kitchen’s tasty Herby Chimichurri Sauce.

It also happens to go great with Impossible Burger. Want more good news? You can serve these lettuce cups in just 20 minutes. 

While swapping lettuce for a bun sometimes has lackluster results for some dishes, this recipe was made to shine with crisp, fresh lettuce serving as the perfect backdrop to the flavors layered on top. The simplicity is what makes it all work: Impossible Burger seasoned with Haven’s Kitchen’s Herby Chimichurri Sauce and topped with cabbage, peppers, avocado, and parsley, plus one more splash of the chimichurri sauce on the very top.
