Hot and Spicy Black Bean Burgers | Dinner

Veggie burgers are notorious for falling apart. If you’re sick of

crumbly burgers, try this simple method for making these hot and

spicy black bean patties. It’s 100-percent guaranteed to stick together.

Ingredients

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained

3 tablespoons minced onions

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

2/3 cup flour

Oil for pan-frying

1 tablespoon hot sauce, for garnish

Instructions

1. Process the black beans in a blender or food processor until halfway

mashed, or mash with a fork.

2. Add minced onions, salt, garlic powder, parsley, and chili powder and

mash to combine.

3. Add flour, a bit at a time, again mashing together to combine. You may

need a little bit more or less than ⁄ cup. Beans should stick together

completely.

4. Form into patties and pan-fry in a bit of oil for 2–3 minutes on each

side. Patties will appear to be done on the outside while still a bit mushy

on the inside, so fry them a few minutes longer than you think they need.

Top with hot sauce.
