Burger Patty

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mash the 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 oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Flour

    Gradually mix in the flour to help bind the mixture together. You may need to adjust the amount of flour based on the moisture of the mixture.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

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

Cook the Patties

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook Patties

    Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, add a veggie patty, a slice of tomato, and drizzle with special sauce.

  3. 9

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
