The earthy tastes of quinoa, black beans, and grated beetroot come together in this vegan beet burger recipe to make a hearty and healthy burger patty. It's full of protein, fiber, and important nutrients, so both vegans and non-vegans can enjoy it as a satisfying plant-based meal.
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked quinoa. 1 cup grated beetroot. 1/2 cup cooked black beans. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. 2 cloves minced garlic. 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed. 2 tablespoons water. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon cumin powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Burger buns and toppings of your choice.
Instructions: In a bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency, creating a flax egg. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, grated beetroot, black beans, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin powder, salt, pepper, and the prepared flax egg. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until well combined. Form the mixture into burger patties of desired size and thickness. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion slices, vegan cheese, and condiments. Serve hot and enjoy!
