Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mash the Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the oats, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Binding Agent

    If using an egg, beat it in a separate bowl and then add it to the mixture. For a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes, and then add to the mixture.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Optionally, toast the burger buns in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked veggie patty, sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and pickle slices.

  3. 8

    Add Condiments

    Top with your choice of condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo.

  4. 9

    Finish the Burger

    Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
