Ingredients

• 400 grams Canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 100 grams Fresh spinach, finely chopped
• 80 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 pieces Burger buns or sandwich rolls
• 0 Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, or your favorite sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the white beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few chunks for texture.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty. If the mixture feels too wet, add a small amount of additional breadcrumbs until it holds together.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Handle gently when flipping as these burgers are softer than traditional meat patties.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns or sandwich rolls if desired, then assemble your burgers with the white bean patties and any optional toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, or your favorite sauce.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and flavorful white bean burgers!
