Description

Ingredients

• For the Burgers
• 2 cups beet root, peeled and cut into cubes
• 1 cup red quinoa (white is just as fine), cooked
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 egg
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tbsp wholemeal bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp flax seeds
• 1 tsp coconut oil, melted
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• For the Dressing
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 1 garlic clove
• ¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt
• For the Fries
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in ¼-inch long slices, then ¼-wide inch strips
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp cornmeal
• For assembling
• 4 Wholemeal buns
• 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped

Directions

• Preheat the oven at 175°C/357°F.
• Place the beet root cubes on a lined baking tin, rub with olive oil and roast for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Place the roasted beets in a food processor and pulse two or three times - you need some texture for the burgers, so make sure you dont mash them completely.
• Transfer the beets into a large bowl, add all the other ingredients and stir to combine. If the texture is too mushy add more bread crumbs until you obtain the desired consistency.
• With slightly wet hands, shape the burgers and place them on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 15 minutes on one side, then flip over and bake for 15 more minutes.
• Place the sweet potato strips on a lined baking sheet, rub with olive oil, than sprinkle with cornmeal and toss to combine.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. They will be ready in the same time with the burgers.
• While the burgers are baking, prepare the dressing.Place all the ingredients in the food processor and process to obtain a creamy sauce.
• Assemble the burgers immediately after removing from the oven.
• Cut the bun in halves, spread bun bases with dressing, add the beet burger and sweet potato fries, top generously with avocado dressing, parsley and put on the bun top.
• Serve immediately.
