Can I use a different type of bean for these burgers?

Yes, the recipe specifically suggests pinto or Roman beans, but other firm beans could also work, though they may alter the flavor profile.

How do I ensure the veggie burgers get a crispy crust without using oil?

The recipe instructs to use a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The hot pan helps prevent sticking and creates a nice crust on the patties without the need for added oil.

Can I prepare these veggie burger patties in advance?

Yes, you can form the patties as described in step one and then store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.

What is the ideal thickness for these veggie burger patties?

Each patty should be about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve a good crust during pan-frying.

Are there any specific vegetables I can substitute or add to the mix?

The recipe calls for red onion, broccoli, and carrots. While you can experiment, ensure any additions are finely chopped or grated to maintain the patty's structure.

How to Prepare Best Veggie Burger With Carrots and Pinto Beans [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a large bowl, add the pinto beans and mash with a potato masher or a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients and incorporate evenly by hand. Form into meatballs and flatten. Each patty should be about ½ inch thick and the diameter can be as large as you want.
In a large frying pan over medium high heat, add the veggie patties (the hot pan should ensure that they don't stick and get a nice little crust; no oil needed!). Brown the bottoms (2-3 minutes) and flip to brown the other side, 2-3 more minutes. Serve.
