I have made a lot of different veggie burgers, and this one is the one we liked best. It was really easy and used items I already had in my kitchen.
First, I got some white beets from the ugly produce section at Four Season Farm. These are veggies that can’t be sold and are put aside for locals to take for free.
I chopped them up and put them through the shredder on the food processor. After shredding, I simply put the rest of the ingredients in the food processor with the blade and mixed until all the ingredients were thoroughly combined. After mixing, I made them into patties, fried them and served them with fried zucchini.
