Instructions

Wash, chop, and shred the vegetables. Wash the vegetables, use a vegetable pepper to peel the carrots. Then, chop the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Use a hand-held shredder or food processor to shred the carrots and set aside. Blend some old-fashioned oats to make oat flour. I have never used store-bought oat flour for this recipe. I always blend/make it myself.
Sauté the Vegetables. Gather all the ingredients listed under the section “for the vegetable mixture” in the ingredients list for sauteeing. Add olive oil to your pan, let it heat up, then add the onions, bell peppers, shredded carrots, and garlic. Stir and season with both types of peppers, salt, Knorr, etc. Taste and adjust flavors. Then, set aside to cool for the next step.
Drain the Beans (optional step). If you’re using canned beans, you need this step. You must drain all the water from the can before using them in the recipe. If you made my homemade black beans from scratch, skip to the next step.
Mash the beans. Place black beans into a clean bowl and mash using a potato masher. The goal isn’t to puree the beans. I personally like seeing some of the textures of the black beans.
Combine Burger Mixture. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture, ½ cup of ground oats, and egg to the mashed black beans. Using a spatula, combine well, and then cover it with a foil or cling film. Then, place this mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before the next step. This allows the mixture to firm up before forming.
Form Your Patties. Once the mixture has been chilled, mold into patties. 2 cups of black beans make about 4 to 6 patties. The size of the patties depends on how big or small you want them. Use either 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup measure to ensure the patties are even. (Note: I doubled the recipe, as you can see).
Cook Your Black Bean Burgers. Place a pan on the stove, add oil, allow it to get hot, and gently drop the burgers to cook. Sear for 5 minutes on each side on medium heat, then transfer to a lined cookie sheet and casually place a foil over them. Bake in a preheated 350F-degree oven for 7 to 10 minutes to thoroughly cook.
Serve and Enjoy! To serve, place 2-4 lettuce leaves as a bun on your plate, tomato slices, and sauce, if desired. Place your black bean burger on top of that, followed by avocado slices and more lettuce leaves. Enjoy! You can add to a bowl of quinoa or rice. Perfect with only tomato slices and a dollop of sauce if you don’t want to be bothered with buns. Did I mention that these black bean veggie burgers with regular bread buns are fantastic? Overall, this recipe is 10/10!

Notes

Always sauté the vegetables for maximum flavor!!

Do not puree your black beans when mashing them. You can make them a bit smoother. However, I prefer a little more texture, so I don’t finely mash them.

It is very important to allow your black bean burger mixture to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes – to 1 hour.

Use a measuring cup to keep the patties equal and even. This will help them cook uniformly.

In the cooking step, when you put the patties in the oven, you can casually place a piece of foil on top. This will keep them from drying out while giving you the perfect taste and texture.

Please note that the consistency of the mixture is (almost) soft; handle the patties with care as you form them
