Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup Grated carrots
• 1 cup Grated cooked beetroot
• 2 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.33 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 unit Egg (or flax egg for vegan version)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the green layer: In a blender or food processor, add the fresh spinach leaves, 2/3 cup of chickpeas, 1/3 cup of rolled oats, 1/3 of the chopped onion, 1 clove of minced garlic, a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture holds together but remains slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 2

Prepare the orange layer: In the blender or food processor, combine the grated carrots, 2/3 cup of chickpeas, 1/3 cup of rolled oats, 1/3 of the chopped onion, 1 clove of minced garlic, a pinch of paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until combined and transfer to a separate bowl.

Step 3

Prepare the red layer: Blend the grated cooked beetroot with the remaining chickpeas, rolled oats, and onion. Add 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, a dash of cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Add the binding agent: Divide the beaten egg (or flax egg) among the spinach, carrot, and beetroot mixtures, mixing each one thoroughly to ensure the layers will hold their shape during cooking.

Step 5

Shape the patties: Divide each colored mixture into 4 equal portions. Take a portion from each color and gently layer them to form a three-layered patty. Repeat for the remaining portions.

Step 6

Cook the patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the tri-colour patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Toast burger buns if desired. Place a tri-colour patty on the bottom bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, or your favorite burger toppings. Add condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, or mustard, and place the top bun on.

Step 8

Serve: Serve the tri-colour veggie burgers warm with a side of sweet potato fries, salad, or your choice of side dish.
