Amazing Veggie Burger

The tasty patty, the freshness of the veggies, and the crunchy sweet potatoes create all the balance I need for this dish. This is a great vegetarian alternative, and it is made from scratch. It is the perfect combination for a nutritious and delicious summer dish! In this post, I will share our amazing homemade chickpeas and beets veggie burger recipe with you!

Living up north, our summers are short (I will say around 8-12 weeks), so we try to enjoy summer as much as possible. We love to go for long walks in the afternoons whenever possible and try to cook on the grill outdoors or a grill pan indoors.

In our family, summer traditions include grill BBQs and, of course, hamburgers! Today I want to share with you our favorite vegetarian burger recipe.

How to make these Amazing Chickpeas and Beets Burger

Shred the beets. Chop the sweet pepper and onion. Mince the garlic.

Rough-mash the cooked chickpeas using a potatoes masher.

Cook the brown rice. Add the rice, garlic, beet, sweet pepper, onion, spices, and vinegar into a bowl and mix well.

Make the patty and put them on the grill.

Let it cook for 5 minutes on each side or until it forms a crusty layer on the outside.

Vegetarian burger toppings ideas

There are unlimited options for toppings, so I will mention the one we use at home. Sometimes I separate all the ingredients on the table for a buffet-style serving so everyone can choose their favorite.

• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Onion
• Mushrooms
• Shredded Carrot
• Avocados
• Microgreens
• Cheese

My favorite side dish for this burger

We can’t forget about the burger accompaniments. Fries are a must in our house, but I make them a little bit different. I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, baking them instead of frying them. I have a recipe for roasted vegetables baked to perfection that can help you make these sweet potatoes tender and delicious.

To complete this dish, we made a green salad with arugula, tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt.

Useful tips

1. I always prepare the chickpeas from scratch, but you can use canned chickpeas for this recipe.
2. This recipe can be made with white or brown rice. If you are using brown rice, remember it requires more water to prepare than white rice.
3. I add salt to the rice while cooking, so it has some flavor.
