This smoked beet burger is hands-down the best veggie burger I have ever had. It is smoky and juicy, just like a meat burger. The only difference is that it doesn’t have the chewy quality of meat, but that didn’t bother me. Top with sprouts, cottage cheese, avocado mousse, spinach, sweet bell pepper, etc.
If smoking vegetables sounds like too much work, there is a shortcut. Instead of smoking, blanch the beets, then grate and add to the recipe along with one teaspoon of liquid smoke. It won’t have quite the same depth of flavour, but it will be close enough.
If you are on a low-FODMAP diet and can’t eat beets, you can still make this awesome smoked beet burger! Just substitute carrots for the beets!
