Quick vegan beetroot burger cooking hack
If you want to make these amazing plant based beet burger patties but don’t have the time for cooking beets yourself, don’t worry. I’ve got you. You can avoid the extra time (and the messiness of peeling beets) by using canned beets in this recipe. It’s an easy quick hack and saves you a good 20 minutes of cooking time.
Gluten-free vegan beet burger patties recipe
To make these vegan beetroot burger patties gluten-free, you can simply use gluten-free rolled oats in the recipe. The reason I like to use rolled oats in my burger patties, is because they make the texture more firm and binds the ingredients together.
Meal prep friendly burger patties
These beetroot burger patties are meal prep friendly because they can be frozen and reheated later. To make these patties in advance, simply freeze them on a flat surface lined with baking paper. Once the beet patties are frozen, you can place them in an airtight container and keep them in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
To reheat the burger patties, you can grill them on a pan in olive oil, reheat them in the microwave or cook them from frozen in the oven. If you are cooking from frozen in the oven, just add 10-15 minutes extra cooking time or cook until you are sure the patties are cooked all the way through.

You can serve these patties in a burger with all your favourite burger toppings like;
