I promised you some new recipes using my Spinach Artichoke Pesto when I first posted about it on Instagram several weeks ago. I meant to have this one to you sooner, but I just wasn’t happy with any of the pictures I was taking of them. It’s a hard color to photograph!
But, despite the color issues, these White Bean Burgers are so flavorful and delicious!! They taste like spinach artichoke dip in burger form. They hold together perfectly! Top them off with the pesto for an extra flavor bomb. Everyone in the family loved these!
Inspiration From Spinach Artichoke Pesto
Like I mentioned above, I created these burgers around the same time I created my pesto. I was so in love with the pesto that I just had to put it on everything. And my brain just kept spinning with more ideas for spinach artichoke goodness.
These White Bean Burgers immediately popped into my head. Mostly because it would allow me a surface to then add even more pesto! Put them together and you’ve got double the artichoke, double the spinach, double the delicious!

Ingredient notes
Traditional spinach artichoke dip isn’t exactly healthy. Sure, there are the obvious veggies, but then there are all sorts of dairy and oil added. This burger is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, oil free, and vegan. It’s also full of nutrients so you can feel good about eating it.
Here’s what’s inside:
Spinach – vitamins K, A, E, C, several B’s, manganese, folate, iron, calcium, potassium, fiber, zinc, protein, omega-3 fats, selenium, and more
Artichokes – folic acid, vitamins K, C, B’s, potassium, copper, iron, antioxidants, and more
White Beans – fiber, folate, manganese, copper, phosphorus, protein, iron, magnesium
Pumpkin Seeds – manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc, protein, iron
Arrowroot Powder – similar to cornstarch, but a healthier alternative. It’s non-GMO and no harsh chemicals are used to extract the starch. This is the magic that holds this burger together so well – no mushy burger squishing out the sides of the bun – promise! It contains B vitamins, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.
I hope you love this recipe as much as we do! If you tried it, please use the star rating system in the recipe card and leave a comment with your feedback. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jenn–is the nutrition count on these burgers for the burger alone or with a bun? Thanks.
Jenn S.
That’s a good question. I don’t remember what I did. I think probably without since the type/brand of bun would vary so much.
Judy Stone
Am enjoying these gorgeous burgers right now with the Spinach Artichoke Pesto. to fortify me for xmas eve gift wrapping.These are stick to your ribs satisfying even with no bun and a new variation on a bean burger for me. I ran out of arrowroot flour and subbed a cpl Tbs of GF Panko–worked really well and I may sub 1/4 cup next time. And great for B vitamins–so good for everything it seems. Thanks Jenn, you’ve done it again. You’ve become my go-to source for creative and delicious.

When I make pesto, I want to put it on everything too! I love that you used white beans in your burger. I used to have something similar when I lived in CA. I can’t wait to try the burger to see if it tastes as delicious as it looks!
Jenn S.
Oh, gosh, yes! Pesto is so bright and flavorful. I’ve been enjoying it on crackers as a snack and I can’t get enough! Cali food is the best – I wish the midwest had more veggie packed dishes. Everything here seems so heavy!
