Ingredients

Units
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup finely diced bell pepper, about 1 pepper
  • 1 and 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion, about 1 onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the beans evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat and baked for 20 minutes until almost dried out. Once done, turn the oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, sauté the olive oil, pepper, onion, mushrooms, and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Place the veggies into a food processor with the remaining ingredients, except the beans. Pulse together a few times, then add the beans. Pulse the mixture together, leaving some larger chunks of beans. Form into patties— about 1/3-1/2 cup each.
  3. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Bake at 425°F for 8-9 minutes on each side, about 16-20 minutes total.
  4. Serve with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  1. Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can make the burgers ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also freeze baked or unbaked burgers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. You can also bake them frozen— just keep them in the oven a few minutes longer.
  2. Breadcrumbs: Use certified GF breadcrumbs to keep this a gluten free recipe. You can also substitute with oat flour.
