What’s not to love about a delicious veggie burger that doesn’t fall apart on the barbecue grill? These vegan beet burgers are perfect for grilling season and make a great plant-based option for any summertime barbecue.
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

Hey! Did you cook the beet before shredding?
I didn’t. But you can definitely roast or steam the beets to make them easier to shred. I’ve also used frozen beets, pulsed in my food processor, with good results.
are the measurements in american cups? (which cup type are they if not?)
Yes, it’s American cup measurements
Could I use canned beets for this?
yes! Just look at the sodium content, and salt the mixture to taste to make sure it’s not too salty.
Any suggestions for a sub for quinoa? Thanks
yes! you can sub with rice.
