These burger buns are not just gluten-free, they're 100% Paleo-friendly. This recipe replaces traditional gluten-free flour for riced cauliflower and almond meal. The result is a less calorie-dense fluffy bun that is chock-full with fiber and nutrients. Overall, eating less grains (even if you're not a Celiac) will definitely benefit your health. Fewer grains means fewer calories, fewer blood-sugar-spikes and less inflammation. Win win!
This recipe is an adaptation from one of the most popular recipes on the blog—my Turmeric Cauliflower Buns. The simple ingredients, and little-to-no-effort requirements make it a perfect Sunday food-prep recipe that everyone will love.

In this new recipe, cauliflower is teamed with vitamin C-rich and immunity-boosting beet powder, which adds the beautiful bright red hue to the buns. You can find organic beetroot powder at your local health food store or online (here).
Here are a few reasons, why you should try these beet burgers. They're:
- vegetarian
- paleo
- packed with fiber
- loaded with veggies
- low-carb
- require next to no effort
