BLACK BEAN BEET BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the beets and onion into quarters. Place them in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the black beans and pulse again until the mixture is sticky and well combined, but not overly processed. You want there to be small chunks of veggies and beans. Stop to scrape down the sides while pulsing as needed.
• Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the eggs, breadcrumbs, paprika, cumin, salt, and thyme. Mix well with a spatula. Roll the mixture into 8 patties about 1/2-inch thick and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake for another 5 minutes.
• Serve the patties warm on hamburger buns with toppings of choice. Enjoy!

SMOKY BLACK BEAN BEET BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil.
• 2. Once hot, add the onion and sauté, seasoning with a pinch each salt and pepper.
• 3. When the onions are soft (about 5 minutes) turn up the heat to medium and add the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms and onions are slightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• 4. Remove from heat and add black beans and mash. You're looking for a rough mash, so you can leave a bit of texture if you want.
• 5. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the quinoa, beets, spices and stir.
• 6. Lastly, add the breadcrumbs a little at a time until the mixture is able enough to form into patties. Set in the fridge to chill while your oven pre-heats to 375 degrees.
• 7. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil. Form mixture into roughly 8-9 patties.
• 8. Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil. Bake at 375 for a total of 30-45 minutes, gently flipping at the halfway mark. Cook longer to dry them out even more and achieve more crisp, but it's not necessary.
• 9. Serve on small buns or atop mixed greens with desired toppings.

BEET & BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a medium pan on medium heat, add a drizzle of avocado oil. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, and season with a dash of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown.
• In a food processor, add the grated beet, walnuts, black beans, lentils, cooked mushrooms, and oats. Pulse until lightly combined, there should still be some larger pieces of beans, lentils, walnuts and beets. Avoid over-processing, so that it doesn't become a paste with no texture. You may need to do this in two batches if your food processor is not large enough.
• Once combined, add the mixture to a large bowl. Add in the nutritional yeast, chives and parsley, remaining garlic powder, chipotle chili powder, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Lastly, add in the arrowroot flour and mix thoroughly. Arrowroot flour is a starch, so it will pull the mixture together, making it stick together in nice patties.

BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Mash the beans.
• Using a fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole bean pieces throughout.
• Make the burger mixture.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, grated onion, chili powder, egg and some salt and pepper into the beans. Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Set aside for 5 minutes. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of canola oil.
• Form the patties.
• Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal balls and form into 4 nice, neat patties. Black bean burgers don't shrink when they cook, so whatever size you make them when they go into the skillet will be the size they are when they come out.
• Cook the burgers.
• Cook the burgers until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the top of each burger. Invert a second skillet on top of the first skillet and continue cooking, 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top the burgers.
• Combine the mayonnaise and some hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with the spicy mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
