INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven at 175°C/357°F.

Place the beetroot cubes on a lined baking tin, rub with olive oil and roast for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Place the roasted beets in a food processor and pulse two or three times

Transfer the beets into a large bowl, add all the other ingredients and stir to combine. If the texture is too mushy add more bread crumbs!

Shape the burgers and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes on one side, then flip over and bake for 15 more minutes.

While the burgers are baking, prepare the dressing. Place all the ingredients in the food processor and process to obtain a creamy sauce.
