This Vegan Beet Burger Recipe is a colorful, fresh dish that you'll love serving all summer long. The burgers are plant-based and gluten-free!
We're spicing up burger season with these beautiful beet burgers.
These beet veggie burgers are made with a base of chickpeas and have beets mixed in for that fresh, earthy flavor, and of course a gorgeous pink color!
If you've tried my Green Goddess Burgers, these beet burgers are quite similar - they're quite moist and dense without being gluey.
If you take a look at the ingredients, you'll notice the list is a little longer than usual. There are a number of ingredients in this recipe, BUT all you have to do is blend them together, so it's not as scary as it looks. I promise!
Step 1. The day before you want to make the burgers, soak the chickpeas and baking soda in lukewarm water. The beans will expand as they soak, so make sure to cover them in several inches of water.
Step 2. Add the chickpeas, beets, onion, parsley, dill, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne to a food processor. Blend until mostly smooth. Don't over mix.
Step 3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for an hour.
Step 4. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the beet mixture from the fridge. Stir in the baking powder and oat flour.
Step 5. Scoop into 1/2 cup patties. Place on the baking sheet.
Step 6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 7. Serve burger-style with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Yes. I have tried this recipe with canned chickpeas and it does not work. The canned chickpeas are so mushy that the burgers just fall apart, even if you add extra flour.
The good news is, dry chickpeas are significantly cheaper than canned chickpeas. AND all you have to do is soak them the night before.
You don't have to cook the chickpeas before you make this recipe.
Yes. I use oat flour because it is easy to make at home, less refined, and naturally gluten-free. Any flour like regular all purpose flour will work.
To cook these burgers in the air fryer, follow instructions as written. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and then cook for 13-15 minutes.
Thank you God for the beautiful colors of your creation. We are so grateful to enjoy them. Amen.
