PREP TIME 20 mins
COOK TIME 15 mins
TOTAL TIME 35 mins
1 can black beans (15 oz drained and rinsed)
1 cup mushrooms (finely chopped)
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup red onions (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Vegan burger buns and toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo, pickles, etc.)
1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2
Add the finely chopped mushrooms, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, parsley, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5
While the patties are cooking, prepare your burger buns and toppings.
6
Once the patties are done, assemble your burgers. Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun, add your favorite toppings, and then top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately with a side of your choice.
Pro Tips:
- Texture Matters: For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold together better while cooking.
- Flavor Boost: Feel free to customize the spices based on your preference. Add some chili flakes for a kick or some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- Grill Option: These patties can also be grilled! Just make sure to oil your grill grates well to prevent sticking.
- Storage: Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for up to a month.
