How to Prepare Jamaican Jerk Plantain Veggie Burgers [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Cut plantain into four sections. Place in a food processor and process until finely chopped, but not mushy. Remove and place in a large bowl.
Add pinto beans, pecans, cilantro, and garlic to the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add them to the bowl with the plantains.
Add rice, spices, cheese (optional), ketchup and tamari to the plantain mixture. Stir well to combine.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet.
Shape plantain mixture into 3-inch wide patties. I had enough for 8 patties. Place as many as will fit into the skillet (three to our in a 10-inch skillet). Cook until golden brown on each side, about 10-15 minutes. Cook in batches until all the patties are cooked.
Place burgers on buns with romaine lettuce. Top with guacamole and serve.

Notes

Leftover patties can be individually wrapped and frozen for later. Reheat frozen in the oven for best results, 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until hot.
