Toppings

Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Drain and rinse the canned black beans. In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, chopped red bell pepper, grated carrot, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground oats, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix everything together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Ensure that the patties are compact to prevent them from falling apart during grilling.

  4. 4

    Chill Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 6

    Grill Patties

    Once preheated, place the patties on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  3. 7

    Prepare Buns

    While the patties are grilling, slice the whole wheat burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled veggie patty, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the veggie burgers warm with your choice of side, such as sweet potato fries or a side salad.
