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 ⅓-1/2 cup each.
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.
