Beetroot Burgers
These delicious veggie burgers are packed full of goodness. There are a lot of veggie burgers out there, but I often find that they are highly processed and bland, which is why I created these burgers using beetroot for a lighter twist and paprika for a kick of spice. They are a perfect balance of carbs, fat and protein and most importantly can be enjoyed by everyone, even those meat eaters!
Ingredients
2 beetroot, washed, peeled and grated
1 tin butter beans
1/2 cup oats
1 tbsp. Tahini
3 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tsp. harissa paste
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. smoked paprika
Method
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the mixture is smooth and comes together.
Take 2 heaped tbsp. of mixture and form into patties. Lightly fry in olive oil on a low heat. Cook for 5 minutes and then flip over for a further 5 minutes.
You can finish them off in the oven for 5-10 minutes (180C)
The burgers can be kept in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen.

Health hasn’t always been my journey. In fact during my teenage years I suffered with disordered eating. Living off low fat/low calorie foods, diet coke and black coffee, my body stopped being able to function. My skin was dry, my hair falling out, I had terrible gut issues (bloating, gas, and constipation) I lost my periods, complained of being cold and was constantly exhausted. If only I knew what I know now, that my brain and body were literally starved of nutrients.
Gradually I began to see that my destructive behaviours and habits were robbing me from living and enjoying life. It was a long road of re educating myself, eating nourishing foods, learning self-compassion, and actually finding the enjoyment in food.
Over time my skin cleared up, my hair grew, my energy came back, hormones re balanced, and I saw firsthand the power of diet and lifestyle modifications in recovering my own health.
Fast forward a few years I am now a qualified nutritionist helping to educate people on the effects of food as medicine, food as enjoyment and food as fuel.
