A simple veggie burger that's nutritious, yet delicious! The black bean patty is high in protein thanks to the beans, nuts and seeds. It's also filled with fiber due to the beans, vegetables, whole wheat bread and again, the nuts and seeds. It's flavored with smoked paprika, garlic and onions to give you a BBQ flavored burger, without any BBQ sauce. Make a few batches and keep them in the freezer for easy weeknight dinners!

How to Prepare Easy Black Bean Burger [Vegan]

  1. Toast your bread in a toaster until golden and crispy. Tear the toasts and add them to a food processor. Process until you get small/medium sized crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Rinse your black beans and add them to the same food processor (there's no need to clean it). Process a few seconds, leaving some texture.
  3. Add your chopped onion and minced garlic to the food processor with the beans. Process a few more seconds to bring it all together. You want the mixture to have a bit of texture, while still being mashed. Transfer to the same large bowl as the bread crumbs.
  4. In the food processor, add your sunflower seeds and walnuts. Pulse a few times until chopped. Transfer to the bowl.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Stir everything together until combined.
  6. Form 7-8 patties.
  7. To cook the patties: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties 5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy on the outside. Serve on a bun with desired toppings.
