These plant-based beet burgers are juicy and satisfying. Make the patties in advance for quick and easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

1¼ cups grated raw cauliflower
½ white onion
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup grated raw red beets
2 tablespoons cashew butter
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
¼ red onion, minced
Dash cayenne
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons coconut flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus 1 teaspoon for sautéing

Toppings: caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, sliced avocado, Dijon mustard, Romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Finely mince white onion and sauté in 1 teaspoon coconut oil until tender and clear. Add grated cauliflower, then cover and sauté for 7-10 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let sit until cool enough to handle safely.
Using your hands, mix all ingredients except coconut oil together until well combined. Add salt and pepper, and form into 5 burger patties.
To cook beet burgers, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook about 4 minutes until just starting to crisp on the outside edges. Flip over and cook another 4 minutes. Be careful that the coconut oil doesn’t burn.
Serve beet burgers between romaine lettuce leaves with toppings of choice.

Tip: Beet burgers can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator between small sheets of parchment paper for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost before cooking.
