Best Vegan Black Bean Burgers Recipes

VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mash black beans in a bowl; add onion, garlic, carrots, and green bell pepper. Mix.
• Whisk cornstarch, water, chile-garlic sauce, chili powder, cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a separate small bowl. Stir cornstarch mixture into black bean mixture.
• Mix whole-wheat bread into bean mixture. Stir flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into bean mixture until a sticky batter forms.
• Spoon 'burger-sized' mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about a 3/4-inch thickness per mound. Shape into burgers.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked in the center and crisp in the outside, about 10 minutes on each side.

VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH OATS

Steps:

• Process black beans in a food processor or blender with just enough of the reserved can liquid to get the processor going. Place into a large bowl.
• Blend oats in the food processor until they become oat flour; add to the large bowl. Blend sunflower seeds until finely ground; add to the bowl. Blend mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion in batches in a food processor and add to oat mixture. Mix in parsley, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin thoroughly using your hands or a rubber spatula, adding more processed oats if needed to hold shape.
• Roll mixture into 15 tight balls, flatten, and cup the sides to ensure the patties do not have cracks. Place on wax or parchment paper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or over medium heat. Place patties carefully into the hot oil using your hands or a spatula, working in batches. Cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, about 2 minutes. Repeat with more oil until all burgers are cooked.

CHIPOTLE BLACK BEAN BURGERS (VEGAN!)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 F and spray a baking pan lightly with oil.
• Add the first five ingredients (chili through rice) to your food processor and pulse to chop. Then add the drained, rinsed black beans and process until beans are mostly broken down.
• Now begin adding the corn meal in small amounts, pulsing as you go. The mixture will likely remain somewhat "sticky"--that's fine. But you do want it to be "dry" enough to handle without it sticking to your hands. As you add the final bit of cornmeal, add salt and pepper and give the mix a taste for seasoning and make adjustments if necessary.
• Once you've incorporated the cornmeal and seasoned, pour into a separate bowl and allow to sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
• Remove the chilled mix from the refrigerator, and portion by hand into four separate, burger-shaped patties. (I like to add a sprinkle of steak seasoning to the exterior at this point.) Place your shaped patties onto your prepped baking tray and slide them into the preheated oven. You will want to cook them about 8-10 minutes on this side, then take them out and flip before cooking an additional 5 minutes.

SPICY (ALSO VEGAN VERSION) BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Note:.
• To keep them from falling apart. Use the food processor for the onion, garlic and pepper mixture and then strain juices through a fine strainer to remove any excess water. Put back in food processor. Rinse the black beans and dry them off before they go in the food processor.
• Blend everything in the food processor, beginning with onions, peppers, and garlic, bread crumbs (or rolled oats), eggs (or flaxseed mixture) and spices and then the beans last. If mixture needs to be firmer, add cooked brown rice, mix by hand.
• Note: put a little oil on your hands when shaping the patties to prevent sticking.
• Divide mixture into four patties. (Can make them smaller, into 6 patties and serve them with a salsa dip or with a pasta dish.).
• So patties are easier to handle: Freeze patties and grill them frozen.
• For grilling: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. Place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side.
• For Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet. Place patties on cookie sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

VEGAN BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Sautee the onion, bell pepper, zucchini and a pinch of salt in a skillet until tender (about 10 min). Place the beans in a bowl and mash with a fork. You want about 1/2 mash and 1/2 beans. Add the vegetable mixture and the remaining ingredients. Form into 4 patties and broil about 10 min each side.
• 2. You may have to add more oats depending on how wet your mixture is. You want them to be moist yet form-able.

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Place black beans in a bowl and mash to a smooth consistency.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cook onion in a skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add water if needed to prevent sticking. Transfer to the bowl with the black beans.
• Stir cooked rice, corn, cornmeal, salsa, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder into the bean mixture. Mix together, using clean hands, until evenly blended. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized balls; form balls into patties. Transfer patties to the baking sheet; refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Bake burgers on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes. Flip and bake until heated through and browned, about 15 minutes more.
