Beetroots have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow and lower blood pressure. Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C, so it’s really essential to include them in your diet. Therefore we present you a recipe for delicious, vegetarian beetroot patties, a perfect lunch or a yummy snack option.

Ingredients:

100g sesame seeds, for coating

For the patties:

140g grated raw beetroot
140g peeled and grated apple
100g grated feta
2 finely chopped spring onions
50g gluten-free oat
1large egg
2teaspoons ground cumin
1 heaped teaspoon turmeric

For the dip:

1 large ripe avocado
8 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
1 small garlic clove
lemon juice (from half of lemon)

Instructions:

Combine the ingredients for the dip, using blender or a food processor, mix until smooth. Let it rest in the fridge, so it will get chilled for serving.

Heat oven to 180C.

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the patties, coarsely grated, together with a large spatula until well blended.

Form the mixture into 12 round patty shapes, around 6 cm wide. They will feel wet, but this helps to keep them moist during baking.

Put the sesame seeds on a plate and coat the patties.

Line a baking tray with baking parchment and lay each patty on the tray.

Bake for 20 mins - the patties should get firm to the touch and lightly golden.

Serve the patties with the dip. You can also try our kale guacamole as a dip or serve patties as veggie burgers. There are many ways to enjoy this healthy and yummy dish, so find your favourite and please do!
