How to Prepare Beet Falafel Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Start by preheating your oven to 390°F.
Peel and grate the beets. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and press out as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl.
Rinse the chickpeas with cold water before putting them into a food processor with the garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and the spices. Blend until you get an even mixture.
In a large bowl combine the chickpea mixture with the grated beets, flax eggs, and flour. Stir generously with your hands to get a relatively even paste.
Form mixture into 8-10 even balls and flatten until about 3/4-inch thick patties. Bake about 30 minutes and remove from the oven.
