Best Beet Burgers Recipes

BEET BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk egg in a large bowl. Stir in beet, carrot, Parmesan, rice, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flour, parsley, soy sauce, salt and the onion until well combined. Using 1/2 cup for each, shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches wide. Place on the prepared pan.
• Bake until browned and heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings, if desired.

BEET BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oven to 400 F. Add 3/4 cup of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Set aside to cool.
• Add quartered shallot and quartered beet to a food processor. Pulse a few times until mixture resembles rice. Add black beans and cooled cooked rice. Continue pulsing until mixture is mostly pureed, but still slightly chunky. Scrape batter into a large bowl.
• Stir in egg, breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir until combined.
• Form into 4 equal sized patties or 8 smaller slider patties.
• Put burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Flip and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also pan fry these in a skillet or cast iron pan.
• Sandwich cooked patties in seeded rolls. Top with arugula and drizzle with a tahini or tzatziki sauce.

BEET VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment, or spray with nonstick spray.
• In a small pot, bring the 1-1/3 cups (320 ml) vegetable stock to a boil; add the buckwheat, cover, lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove the cover, fluff with a fork, and allow to cool.
• In the bowl of a food processor, process the nuts, flax and oats to the texture of a coarse meal. Add the beets, pepper, parsley, fennel, mustard and salt and process until almost smooth, yet still grainy.
• Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/3 cup (80 ml) measuring cup, scoop out the mixture and flatten to patties about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes, then gently turn over and return to oven for another 15-25 minutes, until the burgers are crisp on the edges. Serve plain or in buns. These go well with avocado mayonnaise or fresh and spicy cilantro sauce (both of these condiments will create a cool red-and-green Christmas vibe with the burgers, too). Makes 8-10 burgers. May be frozen.
• * I bake the beets because I prefer the flavor and find they are a bit dryer that way, so the burgers will hold together better. If you boil the beets instead, you might like to reduce the vegetable broth by 2-4 Tbsp (30-60 ml).
