Whoever said Vegans couldn’t enjoy a delicious burger was wrong – very wrong! These day’s it seems like our options for plant based burgers are virtually unlimited. From black bean burgers, to portobello mushroom burgers and more, there’s a vegan burger for everyone. One thing we’ve noticed is that Beetroot Burgers are on the rise for their juicy, real-burger-like consistency, and their amazing flavor. So, when we found Natalie Prigoone’s recipe for a beetroot burger, we just had to share.
What you’ll need to make this tasty burger is just a few simple ingredients and about an hour of your time. You can eat this burger on a bun with all your favorite fixings or over a salad with a complimentary dressing. Either way, you’ll enjoy every bite from start to finish. Head to the store to gather these ingredients, then get started and let us know what you think!
Ingredients for Beetroot Burger
500g beetroot (for me this one one giant beetroot)
1/2 cup of cooked brown rice
1/2 cup of cooked orange lentils/split peas
1/2 cup of cooked dark quinoa
4 cloves garlic
1 cup of dukkah spice mix (see link)
Method
Preheat oven to 200 degree Celicus. Wash and trim your beetroot. I sliced my one large beetroot into quarters to reduce cooking time. Roast your beetroot in the oven for about 40 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool before grating. Make Dukkah (see below) and add the whole contents to the grated beetroot. Chop garlic and mix everything well with a wooden spoon. Shape into 6 patties. Chill in the refrigerator or freeze until needed.
These burgers will hold their shape much better while pan frying if chilled first.
Serve your burgers for your family at dinner, or share them with your friends at your next barbecue. Either way, they’re sure to be a major hit!
