Black bean burgers are one of the more satisfying options as a vegetarian. You get all the protein, delicious flavor, and it is super filling and healthy. Black bean burgers are a great dish to make for a casual night in, especially when you have meat eaters coming over. Making themĀ is super easy and doesn’t require any special equipment, so let’s get started!
Instructions:
- Drain and rinse a can of black beans. Dry them with a paper towel if they’re still very wet, and put them into a bowl.
- Mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are all smashed.
- Finely chop half a small onion, half of a bell pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic. To make sure they bind well together, try to get out as much water as you can from the vegetables with a fine mesh strainer before you add them to the beans.
- Put the vegetables into the bowl with the beans and add in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk an egg and add it into the bean mixture, along with 2/3 cup of breadcrumbs. Combine the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
- Form into patties, pan fry or grill and enjoy!
