Description

These Vegan Beet Burgers are packed with 20 grams of protein per serving and can be made in the oven, on the grill or pan-fried!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cooked cannellini beans or white navy beans (I use canned)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup grated beets
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (can sub oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper
  2. Add the cannellini beans, quinoa and beets to a food processor and pulse until combined. It’s okay if there are still a few pieces of beets and beans.
  3. Add the tahini, breadcrumbs and seasoning and pulse again to mix everything together.
  4. Use your hands to form the mixture into 4-6 patties.
  5. Place them on the baking pan and brush or spray each patty with olive oil
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through
  7. Serve on a bun with your favourite toppings and condiments


Notes

These burgers are grillable! Cook them on the grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Use fresh beets for this recipe, not canned or pre-packaged beets. Fresh beets will give the burgers that vibrant pink colour.

Don’t over-process the mixture. It’s okay if there are a few little pieces of beets or beans. This will add some more texture to the burger.
