Is your burger pink in the middle? Well, mine always is!

I love bean burgers but bean burgers with beetroot is on a whole different level! Not only will this earth, sweet, root vegetable add more moisture and flavor to your burgers, but they will also turn the patties into a vibrant pink hue that’s just like a perfectly done medium-rare.

The other day I made this bean burger with mushroom “bacon”, my vegan partner took a bite then freaked out! He thought I had given him real meat lol. Yes, it is THAT good, plus it’s high in protein and fiber, gluten-free, made from only wholesome real plants, nothing processed.

These burger patties are very versatile, you can serve them as burgers of course, but also in a bowl with some massaged kales, caramelized onions, and mango guacamole… anything you heart desires!
