Ingredients

  • 15 ounce can of garbanzos
  • 15 ounce can of beets unsalted or 2 cups of roasted beets
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 2 T onion powder
  • 1/4 cup dried parsley
  • 1 T ground sage
  • 1 T dried basil
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Drain and rinse a can of garbanzos. Drain a can of beets.
  • Process the garbanzos, beets, chopped onion, and garlic cloves until you can no longer see bits of onion or garlic. It should make a wonderful fuschia colored batter.
  • Spoon out the mixture into a bowl; add the 2 kinds of oats, nutritional yeast flakes, and the seasonings.The batter should be clumping and holding together though still moist.
  • Form the batter into patties or burgers. Lay them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for a total of 30 to 35 minutes. Bake them for 20 minutes on the first side, then flip them over with a fork or spatula and bake the second side for 15 minutes. They are ready to eat when the top feel dry and the burgers are a little crusty along the edges.
  • Serve them plain as a major entree or you can put them in a bun and serve with your favorite sandwich fixings such as sliced tomatoes, onions, and greens. They are great with a side of brown rice, baked potato or a hearty salad.
