I love bean burgers, and this recipe is really easy to do. I enjoy them on a bed of mixed greens with quinoa and a few slices of avocados, or between a 2 grilled Portobello mushrooms ;-) Yum!!
114 ozBlack beanscanned, no salt added, rinsed, drained and pat dry
1/2 cupRolled Oats not instant and gluten-free (latter optional)
1/4cup Raw almondschopped
1 tspPaprikadried
1tsp Cumin dried
1tbspFresh oreganochopped
2tbspFresh Basilchopped
1tbsp Hot organic worcestershire sauce
1/3cupWhite Oniondiced
2cupsMushroomschopped
½cupCarrotdiced
2Roasted red pepperdiced
2Garlic clovesminced
1 to 2tbspAvocado oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat up skillet on medium heat. Add half the oil when pan is hot.
Saute onion first for a few minutes. Then add the carrots, mushrooms, roasted pepper and continue to saute for another 6 minutes or until veggies are tender and moisture is gone. Add garlic in and saute for 1 more minute to give more flavour but being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add all the ingredients together in a food processer and pulse for 6-8 times. You want everything to form a nice burger mixture but not to be too mushy. Seeing some bits of beans and veggies is what you are looking for while still being able to form patties.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. And line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly brush paper with avocado oil.
Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop mixture and empty it onto the palm of your hand and shape into a patty and then place on the baking pan. Repeat until all 6 patties are done. Make sure to space them out to allow room for them to expand a bit.
Lightly brush avocado oil on the burgers to prevent them from drying.
Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, flip gently and bake for another 5 minutes. They should be golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 20 minutes total.
Notes
*Option: Swap out rolled oats for gluten free breadcrumbs, you may try grinding up Mary’s crackers or another Whole grain gluten free cracker of your choiceDon't have almonds?Swap out for any raw nuts you have on hand....walnuts would work well!
