    Because we all need a Beet Veggie Burger this Summer! These Burgers have beet and millet which are cooked together saving time and pans. Add kidney beans, herbs, flavors, mash, mash, shape, bake and done!

    You can use already cooked millet or cooked quinoa and cooked/baked/canned beet as well. Add them to the bowl with the kidney beans or other beans of choice and add the spices of choice and bake or panfry. I like these baked with a vegan cheese melted over in the last few minutes of baking and served with lettuce, vegan mayo, and pickles/ jalapeno. All the Veggie burgers this Summer!

    I have made beet burgers before with uncooked beet that are shredded into the mixture. I like both uncooked and cooked, but prefer cooked beet in the burger. That way the cooking time is flexible. Just cook to crisp up the burger and you are done. 


    These burgers would taste amazing with Indian spices in them as well. Add some garam masala and toasted cumin seeeds. Serve with chutneys of choice without a patty or with gluten-free burger buns.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup (100 g) uncooked millet or use quinoa
    • 1 1/4 cup (312.5 ml) water
    • 1.5 tsp or more italian herb blend
    • 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) salt
    • 1 cup (150 g) chopped raw beet - chopped 1/2- 3/4 inch (1 medium beet)
    • 1/2 cup (74.5 g) chopped tomato 1 small tomato or use tomato puree/paste to taste
    • 2 tsp olive oil
    • 1 Tbsp prepared mustard
    • 1/4 cup (40 g) or more finely chopped onion
    • 2 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos to make soy-free
    • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce or to taste
    • 3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) onion powder
    • 15 oz (425.24 g) can of kidney beans or 1.5 cups cooked
    • Oat flour regular flour or breadcrumbs if needed

    Instructions

    • Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Wash the millet, drain and add to the pan. Roast for 1 minute. Add water, italian herbs, salt and beet and tomato to the pan. Cover and Bring to a boil.
    • Reduce heat to low-medium and cook for 20-22 minutes. Check if the millet is tender, else cook for another few minutes. Let sit covered for 5 minutes. Drain the mixture if there is excess liquid.
    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc if baking.
    • Add in the chopped onion, mustard sauce, soy sauce, olive oil. garlic powder, onion powder to the millet mixture and mix well. Add kidney beans and mix. Mash the mixture well and mix by hand or potato masher, so most of the beans and beet pieces break down. Taste and adjust salt, spice, mustard.
    • If the mixture is too soft or wet, add a Tablespoon or so of oat flour or bread crumbs. Shape into patties using a 3 inch cookie cutter. Brush the patties with a little oil. Bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, flip and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. Add vegan cheese slices in the last 5 minutes.
    • Or pan fry on stove top for 3-5 minutes each side over medium heat. I like these baked.
    • Top with vegan cheese of choice, prepared mustard or vegan ranch, pickles, crunchy lettuce, tomato. Pictured above with daiya cheddar slice melted.

    Notes

    To make these with cooked millet or quinoa:
    Use 1.25 to 1.5 cups cooked millet or quinoa, 1 cup cooked beet and mix and mash in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and proceed.

      I used a golden beet, so it did not have the lovely red color and I also went the indian spice route, seasoning the millet cooking water before with garam masala, corainder, garlic, etc. I baked them in an airfryer and they crisped up well. They were tasty enough, but I not a fan of the texture. The millet just too soft and mushy. A burger needs to be a little toothsome. But fun to try.

        Use brown rice instead. That’s hardy. I like the millet texture in these. A change from the chewy burgers 🙂

        you could experiment but i don’t think it would hold up – you would need regular millet or quinoa

      Hi, Richa! Is there a successful way to prep & freeze these patties, then reheat/cook again from frozen? Trying to get better about meal prep in our house…

      Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I happened to have red beans and beets at home and was so delighted with e results. Thank you for all the wonderful things you are doing to promote good health and kindness towards animals.

      Just wanted to share that I added the beet tops into this recipe. The stems went in with the beet root and the greens in the last five minutes of cooking. It makes them even more beety! 🙂

      I love your recipes and absolutely adore your Indian cookbook. It has made its way into nearly every gift this year and for the future (until the next edition, of course!). Thank you!!

      I’m a HUGE fan of your blog. I pretty much search for recipes here every day. Just made these and they are amazing. I always direct people here if they ask me if I miss non-vegan food (although I was vegetarian before).

      What a beautiful burger! I haven’t used millet in so long, and this is a great reason for me to buy some. 🙂
      Happy summer, Richa!
