Beet burgers have become one of my favorite healthy obsessions. I consider myself to be a somewhat of an “expert” since I have tried and tasted so many. I mixed and matched several recipes and came up with this version that has a Mexican twist to it!
Filled with fresh tasty ingredients, this healthy burger has great texture and flavor. Sometimes, I double this recipe and keep the beet burgers in my freezer. They are easy to thaw and cook up for a quick meal later in the week!
You will need a food processor or Cuisinart for this recipe.
The chipotle aioli is really delicious and goes well with the seasoning used in the burgers. Honestly, I love this aioli variation made with Greek yogurt on lots of other things like raw veggies and sweet potato fries.
Don’t think of the beets from a can you had as a kid, these fresh beet burgers are hearty, nutty, and satisfying.

Directions

- Take beet burger mix and make into patties by hand. You may need to refrigerate 30 minutes if the mix is too soggy to work with. This recipe makes approximately 6 beet burgers.
- Stick patties in the freezer for 30 minutes, so they firm up.
- While patties chill, wash food processor then add in ingredients for Chipotle aioli, blend until mixed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan with coconut or olive oil and cook beet burgers on low-medium heat 7-10 minutes per side until cooked.
- Serve on a toasted bun or bed of greens and top with your favorite fixings (goat cheese is a nice addition) then dress with Chipotle aioli sauce.
