Description
Hearty plant-based patties made with mashed black beans, bold spices, and egg for binding. Quick to make and rich in protein, these burgers are perfect for health-conscious meals or eco-friendly diets.
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg (or chia egg alternative)
1 small red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
4 burger buns
4 lettuce leaves
1 medium tomato, sliced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Mash black beans in a bowl until mostly smooth (leave chunks for texture)
Add breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Form into 4 equal patties (about 1/3 cup each). Chill on baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Assemble with buns, lettuce, and tomato.
Notes
Use whole wheat breadcrumbs for higher fiber content
Letting patties chill improves structure
