Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (cooked, or 1 15-ounce can drained and rinsed) Black beans
- 1 cup Veggie pulp (from juicing)
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the black beans and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.
Step 2
Add the veggie pulp, breadcrumbs, rolled oats, and all the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper) to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 3
Crack the egg (or flax egg) into the mixture and stir until it forms a cohesive dough-like texture. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it's too wet, add a spoonful of breadcrumbs; if it's too dry, add a splash of water or vegetable broth.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking them.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
Step 8
Serve your black bean burgers on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a dollop of your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
