   Roast your beets for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

   Add your onions and a little bit of olive oil and cook onions until soft.
6. 6
   Remove from heat and set aside.
7. 7
   In a food processor, add your cashews and pulse down to a grain size and then add them into a large mixing bowl.
8. 8
   Then do the same with the black beans and onion, processing them and then adding them to the bowl.
9. 9
   After the beets are done roasting put them into the food processor and pulse them down until a lightly chunky texture (think ground beef texture) then add them to the mixing bowl.

    Mix together all of the ingredients in the bowl and then build it into two burger patties.
