Servings: 4 burgers
Calories: 127kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup beets, roasted and shredded packed
- 1 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup quick oats
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp nutriitonal yeast
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Roast the beets. You'll likely need 2 medium beets. I wrap them in tinfoil, place on a baking sheet and bake for about an hour at 400 °F, or until you can easily stick a fork in them. I do this a couple hours before making the burgers so I can let the beets cool completely before shredding them.
- Once the beets are roasted and cooled, peel them, and shred using a box grater. You'll need 1 cup packed. You can squeeze some of the water out, but it's not necessary.
- In a large bowl, add the shredded beets, lentils, oats and spices. Using your hand (or a fork) combine everything really well. Make sure to squeeze and break apart most of the lentils. The mixture should hold together really well.
- Cover the bowl, with a dish towel or saran wrap, and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows time for the oats to soak up any liquid.
- After 30 minutes, you can shape your burgers. Using about 1/3 cup of lentil mix, shape into patty form. It should make about 4-5 burgers.
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil (or a cooking spray). Once the pan is hot, add your burgers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Enjoy on a bun with your favourite burger toppings!
