How to make Vegan Black Bean Burgers
Making Vegan Black Bean Burgers only involves a few steps, a food processor, and a baking sheet! It’s a super easy recipe that gives you delectable patties in no time!
First, slice your mirepoix (carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms). Then, roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes to dry out the vegetables. This also allows them to caramelize, bringing out their delicious taste.
Once your vegetables are roasted, add seasonings and black beans (rinsed and drained) to the food processor. To note: It is important that the black beans are drained as much as possible to avoid having too much moisture in the patties.
If you do happen to have some moisture in your burgers, you can add cooked quinoa or rice to help absorb any excess moisture. I recommend adding no more than ½ of a cup.
Once the black bean mixture is complete, begin forming patties. I like to make my patties at least 1 inch thick to resemble large burgers. I tend to get about 7-8 burger patties from the mixture. You can always play around with the size and quantity to suit your liking!
After the patties are formed, simply place these burgers in the oven for 25 minutes, gently flipping halfway through!
How should I serve Vegan Black Bean Burgers?
Vegan Black Bean Burgers are tasty, super versatile, and provide tons of meal options. Of course, you can simply enjoy the black bean burger with a bun and a side of fries, the traditional burger way, but I like to spice things up!
I prefer my burger placed on a salad to provide extra protein. In the morning, I like it with sautéed spinach, potatoes, and hummus for a tasty bowl. My boyfriend throws an egg on his for the extra breakfast feel.
