Ingredients

• 425 grams canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 60 grams rolled oats
• 1 medium carrot (grated)
• 0.5 medium red onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.75 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley or cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 30 grams flour (all-purpose, oat, or almond)
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado, vegan mayo)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a frying pan for stovetop cooking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained and rinsed black beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats, grated carrot, diced red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley or cilantro to the bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the flour gradually, mixing until the mixture holds together well. If it's too wet, add a bit more flour as needed.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 6

If baking, lightly oil a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the patties on the sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the patties and bake for an additional 10 minutes until slightly crispy and firm to the touch.

Step 7

If cooking on the stovetop, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or vegan mayo.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Black Bean Veggie Burgers!
