Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin powder, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly to form a cohesive mixture.

Shape the mixture into a patty, ensuring it is pressed firmly together.

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the veggie patty to the skillet.

Cook the patty for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

While the patty cooks, toast the vegan burger bun lightly, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burger by spreading vegan mayonnaise or your preferred condiment on the bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked veggie patty, and a tomato slice.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade vegan veggie burger!
