Burgers are America's favorite meal.
The combination of delicious pickles, lettuce and tomato, with cheese and beef on a toasted sesame bun - they're so tasty!
In this recipe, we wanted to offer the same delicious fast food option for our veggie friends, or for those who just love beets!
The oats in this recipe act as a binder to give that meaty texture, while the beets bring a bold color and flavor that goes perfectly with the burger toppings.
You can elevate this beet burger even further by adding seasoning and spices of your choice!

Preparation
1. Put all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and whizz until everything binds together - about 2-3 minutes.
2. Remove the mixture and form it into burger patties, making them the same size as the buns you have.
3. Sear on a hot skillet with oil, and cook undisturbed for 5-10 minutes on each side.
Tips
Substitutions: Use store-bought fire beets that have already been cooked to speed up the process.
To store: Cool the patties completely then store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Or, freeze in a single layer overnight, bag them up the next day, and you have frozen beet patties for up to 3 weeks! Just bake them from frozen at 375℉ for 20 minutes.
Leftover tips: Roll your leftover beet “meat” into meatball size shapes, coat them in panko and pan-fry. Serve with spaghetti and you’ve got a filling plant-based meal.
