Ingredients

• 400 grams black beans (cooked and drained)
• 60 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 medium carrot (grated)
• 1 small red bell pepper (diced finely)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have a few chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, rolled oats, and breadcrumbs to the mashed black beans.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture and stir. If the mixture feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of breadcrumbs; if it's too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help them brown while baking.

Step 8

Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Flip them carefully with a spatula and bake for another 10-13 minutes, until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the patties from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve on burger buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a dollop of hummus or vegan mayo.
