Beet Carrot Burgers

This is hands down the best veggie burger I've made or tasted!  True.  It's adapted from the "Farmer John's Cookbook."  You think it's not going to hold together but the cheese and oil do wonders.  I often double the recipe in order to have leftovers (they freeze well).

Serves 4

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1 cup sunflower seeds

2 cups grated beets

2 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup minced onion

2 eggs beaten

1 cup cooked ric

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sunflower oil

1/2 cup freshly chopped parsley

3 T flour (GF is fine)

2 T tamari 

1 minced glove of garlic

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350

• Combine everything in a large bowl.

• Form patties directly on pan (with parchment paper).

• Bake the patties until brown around the edges.  I like to flip them on the cookie sheet after 10 minutes. 

• Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato, sliced onion, pickles, mayo etc.
