Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 3 cups red beets, peeled, grated
• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 oz. goat cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
• sea salt & fresh cracked black pepper

Avocado mango salsa:

• ½ cup avocado, diced
• ½ cup mango, diced
• ½ lime, juiced
• ½ tsp lime zest
• ½ tsp honey
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp  freshly cracked black pepper

Method:

Squeeze excess moisture from the beets and combine in a large mixing bowl with oats, onion, cheese, olive oil and eggs.

Mix well and allow to sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400F.

Divide mixture in half and make 3 burgers from each half to give you 6 patties.

On an oiled grill on medium heat, grill burgers for 3 minutes a side or pan sear in vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides, finish in oven for 7-10 min.

Serve the burgers atop your favorite bun with the salsa and whichever extra toppings you like.
