Notes...
Rather than use an oiled broiler rack, I used a nonstick baking sheet. I had no problem with the burgers sticking however, be careful, I think I warped my baking sheet a bit as a result.
To toast sesame seeds, place in a oven safe bowl and bake at 300 to 325 degrees, stirring often until they have darkened a bit and are too hot to hold in your hand (ouch! be careful!). If you use unhulled sesame seeds (recomended), be sure to process them a bit in a blender after toasting.
When I made this the yield was actually 8 burgers, however I used large carrots, shredded rather than medium ones grated.
