Beet Burger

Beets make great burgers. Super healthy, yummy and easy to make, these burger are sure to become your new favorite.

I love making homemade veggie burgers. They are one of the easiest and most versatile of all vegan recipes. There are many great recipes out there, but beet burgers are my all time favorite. Beets are great because not only do they look meaty, they also give a very meaty texture to burgers as well.

This recipe is fairly easy. You will need a food processor as all the vegetables need to be shredded. All the ingredients as pantry basics and easily purchased produce from any grocery store. I used frozen beets but you can use fresh as well.

Beets make great burgers!

For people who don’t like beets, don’t worry. The taste and texture once baked is completely different from what you might expect. Beets are a great source of vitamin A and C so don’t be afraid to cook with them.

The process is pretty simple. Prepare the ingredients and combine. Form them into patties and bake. I kept these burgers purposely plain, without onion, garlic or spices. You can add them if you wish but I find spicy condiments and toppings are enough and that these burgers are flavourful enough on their own.

Beet burgers can be served dressed up or down, as a burger or as a meat substitute patty for a family dinner, and are versatile, economical and delicious. Please do give them a try and enjoy!
