In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Stir well and set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

Add tamari, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each gluten-free burger bun. Add a beetroot patty, followed by a slice of tomato, and cover with the top half of the bun.
