Beet and carrot burger

I find vegetarian burgers often quite bland. However, these beetroot and carrot patties are exceptionally delicious, healthy and even filling. Sometimes I swap the carrot to turnip - that version is tasty too! You can serve these patties in a burger (with some salsa or pickled cucumber and onion slices) or as nibbles.
