Ingredients

• 2 medium Fresh beetroot
• 0.5 cup Quinoa
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 2 Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 4 Whole wheat burger buns
• 1 Avocado
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 8 Tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

Rinse quinoa under cold water. Cook according to package instructions and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Peel and grate the beetroot using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the grated beetroot, cooked quinoa, rolled oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add olive oil, cornstarch, and apple cider vinegar to the mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley finely and incorporate it into the mixture.

Step 7

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb some moisture.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Form the beetroot mixture into 4 equal patties, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are firm and cooked through.

Step 11

While the patties are baking, prepare the toppings: slice the avocado, wash the lettuce leaves, and slice the tomatoes.

Step 12

Once the patties are done, assemble the burgers. Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with avocado slices, a lettuce leaf, and two tomato slices. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.

Step 13

Serve the beetroot burgers immediately and enjoy!
