Veggie Burger Recipe

Prepare the Black Beans

Drain and rinse the canned black beans. In a bowl, mash them with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed black beans, cooked quinoa, rolled oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Form the Patties

Using your hands, form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats until the desired consistency is reached.

Cook the Patties

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Prepare the Buns

Toast the whole grain burger buns lightly on both sides in the same skillet or in a toaster.

Assemble the Burger

Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a veggie patty, followed by a slice of tomato. Finally, place the top half of the bun over the tomato.
