Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and the red pepper bell and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are slightly browned, and the vegetables are tender.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the black beans until they form a thick paste.
  4. Add the cooked veggies, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the bowl.
  5. Mix until well combined.
  6. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty. You can use a rounded-shaped mold to make it easier.
  7. Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  8. Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, or caramelized onions.

Notes

  • Mushrooms. You can make this easy vegetable burger with Cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms. If you fancy, Shiitake will give this plant-based burger an excellent flavor.
  • Veggies: Add other vegetables to the mix, like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini. Finely chop or shred them before adding them to the burger mixture.
  • Toppings. Top the vegan black bean burger with your favorite toppings like vegan cheese, avocado, pickles, caramelized onions, or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Storage. Store the leftovers of vegan black bean burgers with mushrooms in an airtight container in a refrigerator for about three days.
  • Freezing. Alternatively, you can freeze them. It is handy if you prep meals and make a big batch of burgers.
  • First, you need to flesh-freeze them. Place the uncooked burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put them in a freezer for about an hour until the veggie burgers are firm.
  • Remove from the freezer and stack the burgers in freezer-friendly storage bags. Vegan black bean burgers can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Cook frozen black bean patties in a 400 F oven for about 10-15 minutes on each side. Don't forget to spray the top of the burger to obtain a delicious and crispy top.
