Ingredients

• 2 cups Sprouted mixed beans (e.g., mung, lentils, or chickpeas)
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup Grated carrot
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Chopped onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Oat flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Whole-grain burger buns
• 0 Toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the sprouted mixed beans thoroughly. If needed, pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the sprouted beans, cooked quinoa, grated carrot, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Avoid over-mixing to maintain some texture for the burgers.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the oat flour and stir until a thick, moldable consistency is achieved. If the mixture is too sticky, you can add a little more oat flour.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 7

While the patties are cooking, prepare your desired burger toppings and toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and topping with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, or any other preferred toppings.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your sprouting bean burgers!
