Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 0.5 cups Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- Condiments of choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but leaving some texture.
Add the grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the rolled oats and panko breadcrumbs until the mixture comes together and is thick enough to hold its shape. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. They should be about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Assemble the veggie burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and any desired condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade veggie burgers!
