Vegan Black Bean Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mash black beans in a bowl; add onion, garlic, carrots, and green bell pepper. Mix.
• Whisk cornstarch, water, chile-garlic sauce, chili powder, cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a separate small bowl. Stir cornstarch mixture into black bean mixture.
• Mix whole-wheat bread into bean mixture. Stir flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into bean mixture until a sticky batter forms.
• Spoon 'burger-sized' mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about a 3/4-inch thickness per mound. Shape into burgers.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked in the center and crisp in the outside, about 10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
• If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Process black beans in a food processor or blender with just enough of the reserved can liquid to get the processor going. Place into a large bowl.
• Blend oats in the food processor until they become oat flour; add to the large bowl. Blend sunflower seeds until finely ground; add to the bowl. Blend mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion in batches in a food processor and add to oat mixture. Mix in parsley, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin thoroughly using your hands or a rubber spatula, adding more processed oats if needed to hold shape.
• Roll mixture into 15 tight balls, flatten, and cup the sides to ensure the patties do not have cracks. Place on wax or parchment paper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or over medium heat. Place patties carefully into the hot oil using your hands or a spatula, working in batches. Cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, about 2 minutes. Repeat with more oil until all burgers are cooked.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leek, mushrooms, thyme, tofu and kale for about 5 mins. Add the mustard, tamari and half of the black beans and give it a good stir. Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse a few times - don't over-blend, it needs to be quite chunky in texture. Scoop into a bowl and add the rest of the black beans, the oat bran, rice and chopped nuts, then mix well.
• Divide the mixture into 4-6 evenly sized portions and shape into patties using your hands. Tip the gram flour onto a plate, if using, then roll the patties in the flour to coat.
• To make the burger dressing, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Fry the patties for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp on the outside.
• Slide the patties into the buns with the tomato, onion, lettuce and a dollop of burger dressing.
