Vegan Beet & Chickpea Patties

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
How do you make a burger without meat or eggs? The answer is a 'flax egg' and chickpeas. The flax meal gels with water to bind the patty, while chickpeas and oats provide a hearty, chewable texture. It's an earthy, vibrant alternative to processed veggie burgers.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix ground flaxseed with water and set aside for 5 minutes.

Tip: The mucilage in flax swells with water, creating a sticky, egg-white-like binder.
2 ✓

Lightly salt the grated beets, let sit, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Tip: Salt draws out moisture via osmosis, preventing a soggy burger.
3 ✓

Mash chickpeas with a fork (leave some texture!), then mix in the beets, oats, onion, spices, and the thickened flax mixture.

Tip: Varying textures (creamy and chunky) make the bite interesting.
4 ✓

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.

Tip: Resting is crucial for the binder to set.
5 ✓

Form into patties and pan-fry in a little oil for 4-5 minutes per side until crusted.

Tip: The crust (Maillard reaction) adds flavor and structural integrity.

Recipe FAQ

Why are they falling apart?
The mixture was likely too wet. You must squeeze the grated beets thoroughly! If still soft, add more oats or breadcrumbs.
Can I bake them?
Yes! Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. They absorb less oil this way.
