Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed Black beans
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 medium, grated and squeezed to remove excess water Zucchini
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Red onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, for cooking Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, grated zucchini (make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible), chopped red onion, and minced garlic to the bowl with the mashed beans. Mix well.

Step 3

Stir in the breadcrumbs, rolled oats, and seasonings: ground cumin, paprika, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Crack in the egg and mix everything together thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of additional breadcrumbs or oats until it holds its shape.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook 2 patties at a time for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add additional olive oil for the remaining batches if necessary.

Step 7

Serve the veggie burgers on burger buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickles, or a dollop of sauce.
