How to Prepare Pineapple Beet Burger [Vegan]

Prepare spicy ketchup by stirring together all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and put in the refrigerator for later.
Begin making the burgers by heating 1 teaspoon avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms (if using) and sauté until onions are browned and slightly caramelized and mushrooms have released most of their water and shrunk in size. About 5-8 minutes.
Next combine quinoa, chickpeas, cooked onions & mushrooms, beets, spices and flour in a food processor and process until well combined.
Form the burger mixture into 6 equal sized patties.
In the same pan you used to cook the onions and mushrooms, heat about 1 tablespoon avocado oil over medium heat. Pan fry burgers for about 3-5 minutes on each side until crispy and browned.
Prepare burgers by spreading buns with mayo and then layering with the beet burger, lettuce, pineapple, veggies and spicy ketchup. Enjoy!
