Method

Preparing the Veggie Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mash the Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Shape Patties

    Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.

  4. 4

    Cook Patties

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Preparing the Fries

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 6

    Cut Potatoes

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips to resemble fries.

  3. 7

    Season Fries

    In a bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and paprika until evenly coated.

  4. 8

    Bake Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 9

    Toast Buns

    Optional: Toast the burger buns on a skillet or in a toaster until lightly browned.

  2. 10

    Layer Ingredients

    On each bun, place a layer of leafy greens, followed by the veggie burger patty, sliced tomatoes, and pickles.

  3. 11

    Add Condiments

    Top with ketchup and mustard to your taste, then place the top bun over the ingredients.
