Vegan Beet Burgers

If you've been curious about those store-bought veggie burgers that "bleed," you should try this homemade veggie burger recipe made with kidney beans, walnuts and beets. A little chili powder in the mixture gives them a hint of spiciness, which works nicely with the sweet chili slaw.

Ingredients :
  • 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1½ cups coleslaw mix
  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. sweet chili sauce, such as Mae Ploy
  • ¾ cup precooked brown rice, such as Uncle Ben's
  • ⅓ cup shredded red beet
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. ground pepper
  • 2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce, divided
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added kidney beans, rinsed
Directions :
  1. Place kidney beans, walnuts, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, pepper, chili powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until a coarse mixture forms that holds together when pressed. Transfer to a bowl and add beet and rice; stir well to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk chili sauce, vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add coleslaw mix; toss to coat. Set aside.
  3. Shape the beet mixture into 4 patties.
  4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and beginning to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Serve the burgers on buns with the sweet chili slaw.
  6. To make ahead: The burger patties can be made in advance. Prepare patties through Step 3; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
