Delicious healthy veggie burger recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, fluffy and cool
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • juice of 1/2 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • agar-agar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse one can of black beans under cold water and drain them well.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but still chunky.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  5. Cover the saucepan and simmer the quinoa on low for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Once cooked, let the quinoa cool before adding it to your veggie mixture.
  7. While your quinoa is cooking, finely dice one bell pepper and half an onion.
  8. Mince two cloves of garlic.
  9. In your large mixing bowl with mashed black beans, add cooled quinoa along with diced bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, rolled oats, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and salt to taste.
  10. If using agar-agar as an extra binding agent, sprinkle it in now.
  11. Mix everything together thoroughly using clean hands or a sturdy spatula.
  12. Form patties about 3 inches wide and place them on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  13. Bake the patties in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until they are firm and slightly crispy on the outside.
  14. Flip the patties halfway through baking to ensure both sides get golden brown.

Notes
