Boil and Bliss: Start by boiling the peeled beet chunks until they're tender, approximately 15 minutes. You'll know they're ready when a knife slips in smoothly. Once cooked, drain and let them cool.
Oven Magic: While the beets cool, preheat your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, getting ready for the baking brilliance ahead.
Sauté Symphony: In a pan, sizzle the olive oil and add the diced onions. Sprinkle in a melody of salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and cumin. Craving more heat? Toss in chili flakes. Sauté this aromatic symphony for 2 minutes, then introduce the flaxseeds. Combine and remove from heat, transferring this flavorful chorus to your food processor.
Blend and Bond: In the food processor, let the show go on! Combine the cooled beets, minced garlic, rolled oats, and tamari sauce. Blend until you're met with a harmonious blend, pausing to scrape the sides as needed.
Patty Perfect: With your vibrant mixture ready, it's time to shape the spotlight-worthy patties. Place them on your prepared baking sheet and give them a gentle press to shape them into culinary masterpieces.
Oven Ovation: Slide your baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the patties bake for 20 minutes. Give them a standing ovation, then flip them over for an encore, baking for an additional 10 minutes.
Serving Symphony: As the aroma fills the air, it's time for the grand finale! Serve these delectable patties in a burger adorned with your favorite toppings or let them shine on their own with a side of salad or your chosen side dish.
