Plant-Based Black Bean Burgers
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 baby carrots, grated
  • 1/3 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 slices whole-wheat bread, torn into small crumbs
  • 3/4 cup unbleached flour, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature for baking, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, prepare a baking sheet by applying a thin layer of grease to it.
3
Mash the black beans in a bowl, then add the chopped carrots, onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Combine these ingredients thoroughly.
4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chile-garlic sauce, cornstarch, water, chili powder, cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
5
Mix the chile-garlic sauce mixture into the black bean mixture, followed by adding the bread crumbs. Gradually add flour to the bean mixture, a quarter cup at a time, until a sticky dough forms.
6
Spoon out small portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure each mound is about three-quarters of an inch thick. Shape these mounds into burger-like shapes.
7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the burgers are cooked through in the center and crispy on the outside, flipping them over after about 10 minutes per side.
