Goat Cheese & Beet Burger
Meal: 215 cal Protein: 9 g Carbs: 37 g Fat: 4 g
Ingredients
- 2 C Brown Rice , cooked
- 1 C Beets roasted and diced (I SWAPPED TO SWEET POTATOES ON VIDEO)
- Olive Oil
- Sea Salt
- ¼ C Parsley , diced (I SWAPPED TO 2 HANDFULS OF SPINACH)
- 1 Can White Beans , drained and rinsed (I SWAPPED TO NAVY BEANS)
- 2 oz Goat Cheese
- 1 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- Sea Salt & Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Cook rice on stove top (or instapot) as directed and set aside.
- Roast beets at 425F until soft and set aside.
- Re-set oven to 350F.
- Combine beets, parsley, beans, cheese, egg, lemon, salt & pepper in food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Combine beet mixture with enough rice to hold it together. Adjust seasoning. Form patties using hands or a scoop.
- Place on parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes, until firm in center. Remove from oven.
- When ready to eat (directly from oven, from fridge, or defrosted from freezer), heat oil in saute pan over medium heat. Saute each burger until crispy, appx 2 minutes on each side.
- Serve with greens and a vinaigrette. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs really well with the goat cheese. Very different results – but both the beets and sweet potatoes are good in this recipe.
