Ingredients
- 75g shelled hemp seeds (1/3 cup)
- 175g shelled sunflower seeds (2/3 cup)
- 2 beetroots (slightly smaller than tennis ball size each)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut cream
- 3 tablespoons hemp seeds (keep separate from the first batch)
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds (keep separate from the first batch)
- 4 tablespoons oatmeal
Preparation
-
Grind Seeds:
- Grind 75g of hemp seeds and 175g of sunflower seeds into a coarse meal consistency using a nut/seed mill, food processor, or power blender.
-
Prepare Beetroots:
- Grate the beetroots. It’s fine to leave the skin on as long as you remove the rough part at the top.
-
Blend Ingredients:
- Place the ground hemp seeds, ground sunflower seeds, and grated beetroot into a food processor.
- Add sea salt, ground cumin, dried parsley, black pepper, ground coriander, and onion powder.
- Blend for a few seconds to combine the ingredients into a rustic blend (not a puree). If your processor is small, you may need to do this in batches. A hand blender can also be used but requires more effort.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the coconut cream, oatmeal, the remaining 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds, and 3 tablespoons of sunflower seeds.
- Mix everything together with a spoon until well combined.
-
Shape Patties:
- Shape the mixture into patties. The mixture will be moist but should hold together easily. If your mixture is chunky, press it firmly together.
- You can refrigerate the patties until you are ready to cook them. Chilling them helps to firm them up, but it’s not essential. If stacking in a container, separate layers with parchment paper.
-
Grill Patties:
- When ready to cook, carefully place the patties onto a wire grill tray.
- Grill under medium to low heat for about 10 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
-
Serve:
- Enjoy your healthy, delicious veggie burgers!
