Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the quinoa is cooking, peel and grate the beetroots using a box grater. Place the grated beets on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. This will ensure the patties are not too wet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated beetroot, rolled oats, chickpea flour, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the mixture. Stir to incorporate all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and sticks together when pressed.
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about the size of a regular burger, around 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8 patties.
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and firm. If the patties are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the cooking process for any remaining patties.
Serve the beetroot patties warm, either on a bun as a burger or as a standalone dish with a side salad.
