My Harry Potter’s Curried Pumpkin Burger screams Fall – with ingredients such as pumpkin, rolled oats and white beans making up the body of the burger. Indian spices elevate it to something you want to eat on a bun, on top of sautéed veggies or even with a delicious dal.
I know Harry isn’t vegan, but I bet he’d come over to our side for one of these autumn patties!

In the meantime here are some more vacation pics from Universal Studios and some foods to try while you’re there.
You can see Cheryl below at the Knight Bus and smiling at the shrunken head that has quite a few bad jokes to spew out at you. Nearby is a jacket potato stand that has vegan beans on one of their potatoes. Just make sure they hold the cheese!
In front of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes you can see the add for the twins edible dark marks. There are vegan candies to be found, but you’ll need to read the labels carefully. The chocolate frogs, unfortunately, are not vegan.
The Leaky Cauldron is full of charm and they do have one vegan option which has steamed broccoli, turnips and carrots, grilled tomato half, green salad and a cold beet salad (that was the star of the plate).
It comes with bread and that bread is vegan! Just ask for the vegetarian plate – it wasn’t on the menu when we went, but a nice gentleman told me to ask for it next time.
And now for my recipe for vegan curried pumpkin burgers. They are great in a bun with mustard, but would be lovely with a dal and rice too!

Thanks for sharing this! I love this idea. I’m not a huge Harry Potter fan, but I DO like the idea of a burger that is different & has ORANGE veggies : ) I get tired of burgers all tasting so much alike, and I’ve been looking for something different.

This burger was great! I’m not a vegan but I love eating healthy and I love pumpkin and Harry Potter.
FYI- You have a typo in step 4…it says over instead of oven.
