How to Make Beet Burgers

a step-by-step guide

This is honestly easy patty to make. Here's how:


Step 1: Grate the Beet Root:

Cut the leaf and stem the beet root still has them attached. Rinse the beet root under cool water, rubbing off any dirt that might be on the exterior of the root. Using a grater, grate the beet root.

Step 2: PRess the garlic

Peel and press the garlic clove.

Step 3: Combine and mix

Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix until well well combined.

Step 4: Refrigerate

Once well combined, put the bowl in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. This rest time will allow the flour and egg mixture time to act as a binding agent, so the burgers will form.

Step 5: cook on stovetop

After 30 minutes, pre-heat a frying pan or grill on the stovetop over medium heat. Remove the beet mixture from the refrigerator. Drain any liquid that may have extracted, and shape the patties with your hands. Cook them over medium heat. Flipping the beet patties once the downside is cooked, roughly 4-5 minutes. Cook the other side for 4-5 minutes.

Step 6: serve!

That's it. Done! Eat them right away or store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
