Ingredients
- 4-5 raw beets
- 1 roasted beet, cut into chunks and smashed
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup goat cheese
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 handful sprouts
- 24 slider buns
Instructions
- Using a box grater or food processor with the grating blades attached, peel and grate onions and garlic and sauté until translucent. Peel and grate raw beets. Place all grated vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil, roasted beets, and rolled oats and mix everything well. Add goat cheese, basil, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Set aside for 30 minutes so the oats can soak up the liquid and the mixture sets.
- Shape the patties with your hands. If the mixture is too loose, add more oats. Grill the burgers a couple of minutes on each side. You can also fry them in a frying pan.
- Place slider on bun and top with sprouts.
