Spicy Vegan Black Bean Burgers Recipes

SPICY VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Add onion and garlic to a small pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp. of water. Saute until veggies start to soften.**
• Scoop cooked veggies into a blender or food processor and pulse 2-3 times until combined, but not total mush.
• Add beans to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until about half of the beans are mashed and the other half are still intact.
• Add onion and garlic mixture to the bowl as well as remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Form mixture into 6 balls and flatten into patties.*** Place patties on baking sheet and put in the freezer for at least an hour.
• If you are going to eat them right away, heat a pan over medium heat. Coat with non-stick spray and add frozen patties. Cook until browned and warmed through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
• Serve on a burger bun, in a wrap or over a salad with your favorite toppings.
• If you plan to store the patties for later: remove baking sheet from the freezer after an hour and cut parchment paper into squares. Stack patties on top of each other (with a piece of parchment paper between each patty) and place in freezer proof container. When ready to serve, follow cooking instructions above - no need to thaw patties.
