Units
Scale
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water (flax egg)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat if pan-frying.
- Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks for texture.
- Add red onion, grated carrot, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Stir in the flax egg and breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together.
- Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
- If baking, place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes per side. If pan-frying, cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned and heated through.
- Serve on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- You can freeze uncooked patties for later use.
- Add chili flakes for a spicier version.
