Equipment
- Grater
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Skillet
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup yellow onion grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon chipotle sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 egg whisked
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the black beans, grated onions, minced garlic, chipotle sauce, soy sauce, and cumin. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the mixture until it holds together. You'll want a chunky texture, so don't overdo it!
- Add the whisked egg to the mixture and fold in the panko breadcrumbs. This will help bind everything together and create a nice consistency for your patties.
- Form the mixture into 2 patties with your hands. I like to make them about an inch thick for the perfect bite. Chill them in the fridge for at least 10 minutes; this helps them firm up.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. You want it hot, but not smoking. Add the black bean patties to the skillet.
- Cook them for about 5 minutes on one side until they are golden brown and have a nice char. Flip them carefully using a spatula.
- After flipping, cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. They should be crispy and cooked through. Feel free to press them gently with the spatula for an extra crunchy exterior.
- Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place each patty in a hamburger bun. Top them with your favorite toppings—lettuce, tomato, avocado, or even some salsa work beautifully!
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Best Black Bean Burger Recipe with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Tip 1: Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in a skillet or microwave when ready to eat.
- Tip 2: You can freeze uncooked patties for up to 2 months. Make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Tip 3: These burgers are fantastic with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad. They also go well with homemade guacamole.
- Tip 4: Consider serving these burgers at your next barbecue or picnic as a healthier alternative to traditional meat burgers.
- Tip 5: Get creative! Use different beans like chickpeas or lentils, and adjust the spices according to your taste.
