Beet Veggie Burgers

Peel and cube beets. Roast at 400ºF for 45 minutes, or until a fork can poke through easily.

Use 2 cups of roasted beets and place in a food processor. Process until finely chopped (don’t puree fully because you want texture).

In a large mixing bowl, combine beets, black beans, quinoa, onion, garlic, chia seeds, breadcrumbs, and spices. Mix well. Add eggs and mix with hands. Add more bread crumbs slowly if patties are not sticking together. Form into patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

Heat coconut oil in pan (you will use about 1 teaspoon to fry each patty). Pan-fry patty 3–5 minutes per side, until crispy on both sides.

For the lime kale, place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and squeeze lime juice over. Massage kale until soft.

Serve patties with mashed avocado, lime kale and choice of bun!
