Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water. Stir well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes. This will act as your egg replacement.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
Add the grated sweet potato, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, oat flour, chickpea flour, flaxseed mixture, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together well. If it feels too wet, add a little more oat flour.
Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a patty about 1-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun, topped with avocado slices, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices. Serve immediately.
