While hamburgers are a staple of most summertime barbecues<\/a>, an average beef patty<\/a> can pack over 200 calories and up to 10 grams of fat. These veggie burgers are a tasty meat-free alternative, both high in protein and fiber but low in fat (just three\u00a0grams per patty!). The secret ingredients: vitamin C-rich beetroot<\/a>, protein-packed quinoa and hearty black beans that will satisfy any hankering. You can serve each patty on a gluten-free bun, or wrapped in a lettuce leaf for a low-carb option. Finish ’em off with your favorite burger toppings, and lunch is served!<\/p>\n

Flavorful Beetroot Quinoa Burgers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Serves 6<\/em><\/p>\n

Prep time: 15 minutes
\nCook time: 20 minutes<\/p>\n

[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients
\n<\/strong>1\/3 cup rinsed quinoa
\n1 can black beans (15 ounce can)
\n1\/2 medium white onion
\n1 clove garlic
\n1 1\/2 cup diced cooked beets (3 beets)
\n1 egg
\n1\/2 tablespoon cumin
\n1 teaspoon smoke paprika
\n1\/3 cup gluten free bread crumbs
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place the rinsed quinoa and 2\/3 cup water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer for 15 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is light and fluffy. Place the cooked quinoa in a bowl in the fridge to cool.<\/li>\n
  2. In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, black beans, beets and egg. Blend until they break down into a thick and chunky mixture. Stir in the cumin, paprika and breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n
  3. Form the mixture into six patties. If it seems too moist and the patties are not holding together add another tablespoon or so of breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n
  4. In a frying pan on medium heat, heat the olive oil and then cook each of the patties for approximately 5 minutes per side. Serve warm on a bun or lettuce leaf with your favorite burger toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
