Healthy Black Bean Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat.
• In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.
• Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining can of black beans and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.
• Divide 2/3 mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Save the remaining mixture for another use, like Black Bean Enchiladas. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.

Steps:

• Mash the beans.
• Using a fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole bean pieces throughout.
• Make the burger mixture.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, grated onion, chili powder, egg and some salt and pepper into the beans. Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Set aside for 5 minutes. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of canola oil.
• Form the patties.
• Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal balls and form into 4 nice, neat patties. Black bean burgers don't shrink when they cook, so whatever size you make them when they go into the skillet will be the size they are when they come out.
• Cook the burgers.
• Cook the burgers until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the top of each burger. Invert a second skillet on top of the first skillet and continue cooking, 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top the burgers.
• Combine the mayonnaise and some hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with the spicy mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomatoes.

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
• If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Combine onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add carrots, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and cayenne pepper until carrots are tender. Remove pan from heat.
• In a bowl, mash the beans and then add the contents of the pan along with the soy sauce and quick oats.
• Mix and form four patties. Place in freezer for 30 minutes to set.
• Cook patties on a pan coated in cooking spray over medium heat, flipping halfway.
• Use patties to create your dream veggie burger.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher, leaving a few beans whole for texture; set aside.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to black beans and season with basil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Fold beaten eggs into the bean mixture. Sprinkle in bread crumbs, adding a little at a time and fold in. Be careful not to overmix the bean mixture.
• Reheat the skillet that you cooked the onion mixture in. Scoop out 1 cup bean mixture and shape into a ball. Set the ball into the hot skillet and gently flatten to form a burger.
• Cook until firm and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bean mixture. You might need to add more oil.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth (or puree with the onions).
• Add onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is at your desired consistency.
• Form bean mixture into flat patties and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm.
• Serve topped with hummus or a Greek feta salad salad dressing, spread on a whole wheat bun. I tried these with the usual ketchup and they weren't nearly as good -- trust me.

Steps:

• combine the first 10 ingredients in a bowl and mash together with a potato masher (or use the back of a large fork) just until only a few whole black beans are remaining. then stir for another minute with a large spoon to make sure the ingredients are well mixed.
• let the mixture sit while you heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan.
• on a sheet of wax paper, spread out a 1/4 cup of the cornmeal evenly.
• divide the black bean mixture into 4 equal parts and begin flattening them into patty shape.
• press each patty onto the cornmeal and cover the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup of cornmeal.
• once they are coated with cornmeal, begin placing the patties onto the hot frying pan.
• cook for around 7 minutes per side.
• when finished cooking, allow them to sit on paper towels for a minute. then place on wheat buns and top with fresh guacamole or pico de gallo.

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.
