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)
• None Condiments of choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but leaving some texture.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. They should be about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade veggie burgers!
