Black Bean Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Mixture

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture. Stir in the oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, flaxseed meal, and water until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the hard rolls. Spread smashed avocado on the bottom half of the roll, add the lettuce, the cooked black bean patty, sliced tomato, pickled red onion, and drizzle with vegan ranch dressing. Top with the other half of the roll.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the black bean burgers with French fries on the side.
