Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry black beans, cooked or 1 15.5oz can canned beans, drained
  • ¾ cup dry brown rice, cooked
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup cooked red beets, shredded
  • 2 tbs chia seeds
  • 3 tbs water
  • 2 tbs tahini
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tsp brown mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Cook beets, black beans (if not using canned) and brown rice - all separately.
When the black beans are cooked and tender, mash them in a large bowl.
Gently mix in all the other ingredients until incorporated. The mixture will be slightly sticky and have a lot of texture, not smooth.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into the size and amount of burgers desired. Flatten them to an even consistency.
Lay the burgers on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for approx. 10 minutes at 350.

Step 3

At this point you can freeze them for future meals or fry them on the stove in a griddle pan with a little olive oil until the sides are crisp and griddle lines form on each side. A few minutes per side.

Step 4

Top with avocado, salt, pepper, salsa...anything you would like - it's your burger!
