Appliances and Special Utensils

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare Ingredients: In a food processor, pulse the oats until they become a coarse flour. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the black beans to the food processor and pulse until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

  3. Mix Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl, combine the processed black beans, oat flour, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, corn, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. Bind Mixture: Add the egg (or flax egg) to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky but hold together when formed into a patty.

  5. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Bake Patties: Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are firm and slightly crispy on the edges.

  7. Cook Patties: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the baked patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

  8. Serve: Serve the veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Veggie Burgers!
