Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, divided
- 1 large egg (or vegan egg substitute)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the black beans, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, and the egg. Pulse the mixture 15-20 times or until the consistency is that of a thick paste.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and add 5 tablespoons of the panko, the green onions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Mix together well. Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into a patty, approximately ¾ inch thick. Pat each side of the patty into the remaining panko.
- Heat a nonstick pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining 4 teaspoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the black bean burgers and cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, as desired.
Notes
Use a vegan egg substitute to keep these burgers vegan.
