Vegan Beet Burgers Recipe

Combining the right ingredients in the right ratios to form a vegan burger patty that doesn’t fall apart can be difficult… but not with this recipe! We cooked these burgers the oven AND outside on the BBQ grill… and they stayed together, in cute, vibrantly colored little patties. 

Ingredients For Grillable Beet Burgers

The main ingredients for this veggie burger recipe are pretty simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Beets: adding in cooked beets helps keep the burger patties soft and juicy. I don’t like my veggie burger patties to be dry like falafel, so adding in beets helps while providing beautiful color.
• Chickpeas: You can use any bean in this recipe, like white beans or red beans, but I prefer Chickpeas as the main source of protein in these veggie burgers.
• Quinoa: Cooked quinoa adds texture and helps hold the burgers together. Quinoa also adds protein and fiber. 
• Rolled Oats: I love adding rolled oats to my veggie burger recipes. Oats contain beta-glucan, so if the mixture is too wet, oats help absorb excess moisture and bind everything together.
• Other ingredients: Besides the main ingredients above, you’ll just need miso, garlic, onion, steak sauce, tamari, smoked paprika, and tahini.

Ideal Toppings for Veggie Burgers

You can use whatever burger toppings you enjoy most. For the pictures here, we used arugula, mustard, red onion, and fresh cucumber. Some other toppings I suggest trying:

• Fermented Jalapeños 
• Kimchi
• Turmeric Sauerkruat
• Avocado
• Classic lettuce, tomato, and pickles combo
• Spinach
• Vegan Cheese

Recipes to Pair with the Veggie Burgers

• Simple Chili Garlic Snow Peas
• Potato Salad
• Baked Acorn Squash Stuffed with Vegan Mac and Cheese
