Ingredients

• 15 oz canned black beans
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the black beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until a chunky paste forms.

Step 4

Add diced red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, cooked quinoa, and breadcrumbs to the mashed beans.

Step 5

Crack the egg into the mixture, then add cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Cook the patties, two at a time, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are crispy and brown.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked patties to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

Step 11

Toast your buns either in a toaster or in the oven for a few minutes until slightly crispy.

Step 12

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf, a black bean patty, and a tomato slice on each bun.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free black bean burger!
