Burger Patty

Fries

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

  2. 2

    Mash the Black Beans

    In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 cup of black beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Binding Ingredients

    Stir in 1 cup of bread crumbs and 1 beaten egg (or flaxseed mixture for a vegan option). Mix until the mixture holds together but is not too wet.

  5. 5

    Form the Patties

    Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little water. If too wet, add more bread crumbs.

  6. 6

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Making the Fries

  1. 7

    Prep the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut 4 medium potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 8

    Season the Potatoes

    Drizzle the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.

  3. 9

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 10

    Toast the Buns

    While the fries are baking, toast the burger buns in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.

  2. 11

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a lettuce leaf, a cooked veggie patty, a slice of tomato, pickles, and cheese if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Serve the veggie burgers hot alongside the crispy fries.
