- 1 medium Broccoli into florets
- 1 large Carrot
- 1/2 large Yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 large Red onion finely chopped
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp Lime juice
- 1/2 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1/2 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
Patties
- Transfer the black beans into a colander, rinse, and set aside to drain out water from them.
- In a blending jar, add the oats, grind them until they turn into a flour, and set aside.
- Clean and rinse the broccoli florets and let them sit in the colander for 10 mins.
- Chop the broccoli florets in a food processor or chopper and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Next, chop the carrot and garlic cloves into the food processor and transfer them to the bowl.
- Transfer the chopped onions to a mixing bowl.
- Add some yellow bell peppers and cilantro to the bowl.
- Roughly mash the black beans in a food processor or using a potato masher. Combine them with the veggies and add all the spices, salt, and lime juice.
- Mix the veggies and beans together with your hands or a spatula.
- Next, add some oat flour and keep binding the mixture together. Cover the bowl with a lid and let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Shaping The Patties
- Brush the baking tray with ½ tbsp oil, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃
- Take out the mixture from the refrigerator. Grease your hands with a few drops of oil, take some mixture to form into a round shape, and then press it to form a patty shape. Set the patty on a baking tray.
- Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and make 16 patties out of it. Set all the patties on a baking tray without overcrowding them.
- Brush some oil on top of each patty. Bake the patties for 15-17 minutes without disturbing them. Take out the pan from the oven and wait for 30-40 seconds before flipping them.
- Gently flip each patty using a spatula. Bake the patties for another 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Take them out of the oven and let them sit in the baking tray for 7-8 minutes.
Assemble The Burger
- Warm up some burger buns, spread your favorite burger sauce – I have mixed some harissa mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Add some lettuce or mixed greens followed by tomato slices.
- Melt some cheese on the burger patty, transfer the patty on the top of tomato slices, and add some sautéed peppers and onions. Drizzle some more mayonnaise mixture. Cover the burger with the other side of the bun and enjoy!
Notes
- When it comes to making burgers, always remember to get rid of the excess moisture. Extra moisture causes the patty to break very easily while cooking.
- Drain the black beans very well before mashing them.
- Preheat the oven for 8 minutes before transferring the baking tray for cooking the black bean burger patties.
- Let the patties cook for about 15-17 minutes without disturbing them. Take them out of the oven and let them sit in the pan for 30-40 seconds. After that carefully flip each patty or it might break when it is too hot.
