Inside Out Beet & Quinoa Burgers

Vegan, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free

Makes 8-10 Small Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 heaping c sliced baby portobello mushrooms

• ⅔ c sliced cooked beets

• ⅔ c chickpeas

• 1 ¼ heaping c cooked tricolor quinoa*

• ¼ c oat flour (or almond flour if not concerned about nut-free)

• 1 ¼ tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ¼ tsp coriander

• ¼ tsp salt

• ⅛ tsp pepper

• 2 flax eggs (or regular eggs if not concerned about keeping it vegan)

For Assembly

• sliced avocado, greens of choice, hummus, or any of your favorite burger add-ins and/or condiments!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Add the mushrooms, beets, and chickpeas to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and almost paste-like. You want there to still be a couple of pieces of mushrooms and chickpeas in there for added texture!

3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Fold together until evenly combined.

4. Scoop ~3 tbsp of the mixture and use your hands to form small patties. Don't be concerned if the mixture feels a little wet.

5. Bake for 12 minutes and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before assembly. These guys are a bit delicate, but they should hold their shape and not immediately crumble upon eating.

Notes

*For extra flavor, cook the quinoa in veggie broth instead of water!
