Ingredients
- 2 cups beetroot, grated
- 1 cup chickpeas, cooked and mashed
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to prepare a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, mashed chickpeas, cooked quinoa, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Add the flax egg, oat flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the beetroot patties warm, either as a burger patty in a bun, atop a salad, or on their own with a side of your choice.
