Instructions
Cook the Vegetables
- Steam or roast the sweet potatoes and beets until they’re soft and easily pierced with a fork if you haven't already. Steaming helps preserve color and nutrients, while roasting enhances natural sweetness.
Blend the Base
- In a food processor, combine the cooked sweet potato, beets, and tahini. Blend until mostly smooth, leaving a bit of texture for bite.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Add oats, flaxseed, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until a thick, sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add more oats 1 tablespoon at a time — it should remain slightly sticky.
Chill the Mixture
- Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up and become easier to shape.
Form the Patties
- Once chilled, shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties. The texture should be soft but manageable.
Cook the Burgers
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil if needed. Cook each patty for 6–8 minutes per side, flipping once golden and crisp.
Toast the Buns (Optional)
- Lightly toast your burger buns while the patties finish cooking for extra flavor and texture.
Assemble the Burgers
- Layer each bun with a beet patty, avocado slices, sprouts, pickles, and your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or vegan chipotle mayo.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately with a side of Roots Farm Fresh Sweet Potato Fries for a hearty, wholesome, and completely plant-based meal.
