Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the herbed goat cheese. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the lemon-dill yogurt sauce in a small bowl. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Wash, peel, and chop the medium beet and large carrots. Place them in a food processor and pulse into small rice-sized pieces.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients for the burgers to the food processor. Turn it on and process until thick and sticky.
  5. In a cast iron skillet, add enough coconut oil to generously coat the surface and heat it to medium.
  6. Form burger patties out of the beet and rice mixture.
  7. Place the patties on the hot cast iron skillet. Allow them to cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until crispy and golden.
  8. Carefully flip the patties to the other side and let them cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
  9. Serve the beet burgers on your choice of lettuce with the herbed goat cheese, thick slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of sprouts.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the skillet for the best texture.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze uncooked patties. Just lay them out on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll last for up to 3 months!
  • Tip 3: Serve alongside a light salad or roasted vegetables for a wholesome meal.
  • Tip 4: Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Don’t be afraid to add more herbs or spices based on your preference!
  • Tip 5: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible to enhance the flavors of your burger.
