Quinoa and Black Bean Burger Patties Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

These hearty, protein-packed quinoa and black bean burger patties are a delicious vegetarian alternative to traditional burgers, with a satisfying texture and smoky flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves 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 (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks.
2. Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
5. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Tips

• For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
• Patties can be baked at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, instead of frying.
• Store leftover patties in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
