Veggie Burger Recipe

Prepare Quinoa

Rinse quinoa under cold water and cook in a pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Mash Beans

In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked quinoa, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg (or flax egg), bread crumbs, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

Form Patties

Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs to help bind it.

Cook Patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Assemble Burgers

Place each patty on a burger bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
