Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the sunflower seeds, flax meal, garlic cloves, miso, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, onion powder, and salt and pepper, if using, to a food processor. Blend until a moist coarse dough forms.
Add the beets, oats, and beans. Blend until combined, using a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the food processor, making sure that everything is blended.
With clean hands, scoop out the burger mix to form 4-inch patties about ½-inch thick. You should get about 6 patties.
Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Top with smashed avocado and pickled red onions and enjoy as is, in between whole-grain bread, or in a lettuce wrap.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 5–7 days or can be frozen, separated by parchment paper in a freezer-safe container, for up to 30 days.

Substitutions
In place of sunflower seeds, use walnuts or cashews.
