• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground coriander
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 dairy-free buns
• 4 lettuce leaves

• 4 tbsp dairy-free burger sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, cooked brown rice, chickpeas, and rolled oats.

Step 3

Using a potato masher or food processor, mash the mixture until well combined but still somewhat chunky.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and stir well.

Step 5

Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the patties to the skillet and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until they form a nice crust.

Step 8

Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes, this helps to cook them through.

Step 9

While the patties are baking, prepare your buns by toasting them lightly if desired.

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of dairy-free burger sauce on each bun base. Place a lettuce leaf, a beetroot patty, a slice of tomato, and then the top bun.

Step 11
