Description

Simple recipe for making flavorful black bean burgers at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed and drained black beans in a medium bowl. Mash them with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
  2. Add the bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  3. Mix all ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until heated through and browned.
  7. Serve immediately on buns with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • If the mixture seems too wet, add one more tablespoon of bread crumbs.
  • You can bake these burgers at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
