Black Bean Burgers Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

Hearty and flavorful black bean burgers that are perfect for a meatless meal. Packed with spices and a satisfying texture, they hold together well on the grill or stovetop.

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some chunks.
2. Add breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
5. Serve on hamburger buns with desired toppings.

Tips

• For a vegan version, substitute the egg with 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water.
• These burgers can be baked at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, instead of pan-frying.
• Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
