• 60 g (3/4 cup) rolled oats
• 1 medium, finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 15 g (2 tablespoons, chopped) cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the black beans until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats, diced red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, and cilantro to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place each patty on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Lightly brush the tops of the patties with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the patties and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the patties cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the black bean veggie burgers on whole wheat buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado.
