Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized beetroot, peeled
  • 90g/1 cup oats (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 x 400g/15 oz tins beans (aduki or pinto beans work well)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 flax “egg” (mix 1 tbsp flax meal with 3 tbsp water and allow to sit for 5 minutes, until it reaches a gel-like consistency)
  • Spices as desired (I use a dash of spices such as parsley, thyme, basil, chilli powder and/or smoked paprika (1 to 2 tsp total))
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Process the oats in a food processor until ground into flour. Set aside.
  2. Shred or grate them in the food processor. Add 60g/1/2 cup of the oat flour and the remaining ingredients (beans, flax “egg,” garlic, spices, salt, and pepper). Pulse until combined, then stir in the remaining flour.
  3. Form into patties. If you have time, it can be helpful to refrigerate the batter for a few hours (to help the patties hold together better).
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and spray lightly with oil. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side. Alternatively, bake the patties on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, turning once, at 190°C/375°F (baking is my preferred method).
  5. Serve on a bun with your favourite condiments.

Note: I often refrigerate or freeze any extra burgers, and then thaw and re-heat them on a skillet or grill when ready for use. The beet burgers always get rave reviews at cookouts!

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
