Really yummy! Not gonna lie – I hate grating vegetables!! So I only used 1 carrot as I got bored after grating all the beets (wear gloves)! Didn’t make any difference to the texture – still wet and a bit messy but worth the effort. If you don’t use processed sugar or eat a lot of sweet stuff you’ll notice how sweet these burgers taste – very scrumptious and decadent. Almost like desert!

These are yum! I went a bit off piste and made little koftes because I had no burger buns. I subbed in pinto beans too and only had one egg, also used a food processor to blend some pre roasted beets I had from another receipe. Yum tho! Sure the original is great too

I tried these tonight and they were delicious! I used your flavourings of ground chipotle, cumin and coriander and subbed black beans for kidney beans. My husband, dug in when he got home and came specially to find me and tell me how good they were! Thanks!! Extra yum with tomato relish on top too. So nice having these recipes when wanting to try something new, thanks!
