Ingredients:
- 2 cups peeled and roughly chopped beets (approximately 1 large beet)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, add the chopped beets and whole garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and steam for 8 minutes, or until the beets are soft. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Once soft, transfer the beets and garlic to a bowl and let cool.
- In the same saucepan, add diced onion with 2 tablespoons of water and sauté for 3 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater, combine all remaining ingredients (black beans, apple cider vinegar, ground flaxseed, rolled oats, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, pepper) along with the sautéed onions.
- Transfer the cooled beets and garlic to a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the beet mixture to the stand mixer bowl.
- Turn the stand mixer on low and allow all ingredients to fully combine, about 1 minute. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher to mix the ingredients.
- Form the mixture into patties, approximately 8 patties in total, and place them on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the patties for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until golden brown and firm.
- Serve the beet burgers warm on a whole grain bun or over a bed of leafy greens, topped with your favorite toppings such as avocado, hot sauce, mustard, hummus, tomato, onion, etc.
Notes:
- Feel free to customize the burger patties with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
- Leftover beet burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Experiment with different toppings and condiments to create your perfect plant-based burger experience.
