Ingredients

• 400 grams canned black beans
• 1 large carrot
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Grate the carrot using a box grater or a food processor and set aside.

Step 3

Finely dice the red bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add the grated carrot and diced red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture with the black beans, using a fork to mash the beans until about half are mashed, and half remain whole for texture.

Step 7

Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 8

Add the rolled oats, soy sauce, and breadcrumbs, mixing thoroughly until everything is well-combined and holds together. If the mixture is too loose, add a little more breadcrumbs to bind it.

Step 9

Form the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties, ensuring each patty is firm and cohesive.

Step 10

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they have a nice char and are heated through.

Step 12

Serve the grilled patties on buns with your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, or your favorite sauce.
