Black Bean Burgers
These black bean burgers are healthy, delicious, and a tad bit spicy. They are great with the simple sauce included in the recipe, but are delicious (and vegan) on their own as well.
I love making a big batch and freezing them for later use. Feel free to get creative with the patties… slide one into a pretzel bun, crumble it into a burrito, or even mix it into a grain bowl with veggies!
My personal favorite involves enjoying them with roasted sweet potatoes, fajita veggies, and a Greek yogurt drizzle with lime juice. Yum!
Ingredients Directions Combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cilantro, chile powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and allspice in a food processor. Blend until oats become close to a flour, but not quite. Add carrots and blend until finely chopped. Add onions and minced garlic, pulsing until combined. Add bell pepper, corn, brown rice, and black beans (be sure to pat them down with a towel to remove any excess moisture before putting them in the food processor). Pulse until the mixture begins to come together. A few of the beans should still be whole for an ideal texture. Form mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Cook in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil until browned, about 5 minutes each side. Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate until use.
