Following the discontinuation of its beloved Beyond Burger, Carl’s Jr. rolls out the new Fried Zucchini Star Burger as a vegetarian-friendly option for those looking to dine out at their favorite fast-food joint.
The Fried Zucchini Star burger features crispy fried zucchini, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, sliced onions, mayo, and Special Sauce, all sandwiched between a toasted seeded bun.
The new vegetarian sandwich will set you back 600 calories and cost you around $4.29, with prices varying by location.
While probably not as “meaty” as the now discontinued Beyond Burger, I believe Carl’s Jr’s latest move to introduce a more innovative vegetarian option will resonate well with customers looking for a flavorful and fulfilling meat alternative. In my opinion, the combination of crispy-fried zucchini and melty cheese creates a contrast of textures and flavors that are, admittedly, hard to resist.
