Cook lentils by covering with water, bringing to a boil, and cooking for about 10 minutes until tender.

Toast almonds in the oven at 350°F for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

Peel and shred enough beets to make about two quarts using a shredder attachment on the food processor.

Grind the shredded beets in the food processor until chunky but not soupy, pulsing about 5-6 times.

Grind the cooked rice in the food processor for about 30 seconds to a minute until sticky, then add to the mixing bowl.

Pulse the cooked lentils in the food processor about 3-6 times until broken up but not mushy, then add to the mixing bowl.

Grind the toasted almonds and peeled garlic into a powder in the food processor for about 1-1.5 minutes, then add to the bowl.

Chop and add 1 tablespoon each of thyme and rosemary, along with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon all spice, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Add 1 cup oats to the mixture and mix everything together until well combined.

Flatten the mixture and divide it in half; puree half in the food processor for 1.5-3 minutes until smooth and sticky.

Mix the pureed half with the coarsely ground half thoroughly and form into patties about the size of the buns.

Preheat the electric griddle and coat it with cooking spray.

Cook the beet burgers on one side for about 10-15 minutes until crispy, then spray the other side with cooking spray and flip.

Cook the other side for another 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown, then remove and keep warm.

Butter each side of the burger buns and toast them until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise on the toasted buns.
