Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Sriracha Mayonnaise
Report
These Spicy Black Bean Burgers combine mashed black beans with sautéed carrots, onion, and warm spices including paprika, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, cayenne, and garlic. The patties are bound with egg and panko breadcrumbs, pan-fried until crisp. An optional Sriracha mayonnaise adds a creamy, spicy kick, offering a hearty vegetarian burger option with bold flavors.
Description
Spicy Black Bean Burgers start by finely chopping carrots and onion, then sautéing them with a blend of aromatic spices: paprika, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, kosher salt, cayenne, black pepper, and garlic. The sautéed veggies add moisture and depth of flavor. Drained (but not rinsed) black beans are mashed with the vegetables, then combined with ketchup, soy sauce, Sriracha hot sauce, panko breadcrumbs, and an egg to bind the mixture.
Formed into patties and pan-fried in olive oil, these burgers develop a slightly crisp exterior while staying tender inside. The included recipe suggests an optional Sriracha mayonnaise spread to enhance the spiciness and creaminess of the sandwich. Suggested toppings include classic burger ingredients like lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce.
The recipe includes tips for storing cooked patties in the refrigerator for up to four days and instructions for reheating by pan-frying or microwaving. Freezing is possible, with thawing recommended in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil for frying
- 6 burger buns

Instructions
- Peel 2 carrots and chop into 2-inch pieces. Chop 1/4 of an onion into a few chunks. Place the carrots and onion in a food processor and pulse until finely diced. (If you don't have a food processor, just mince it up real tiny like.)
- Heat up about 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet. Add the minced carrot and onion.
- Add all the spices: 1 and 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Saute until the carrot is tender, about 8 minutes. Taste it to make sure it's soft. Add a couple teaspoons of oil if it's starting to look too dry. When it is almost done, add 1 clove minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- While the vegetables cook, drain the black beans but don't rinse them. Add to a large bowl. Add the cooked carrots, onion, and garlic. Using a pastry blender or two forks, mash the mixture to break down the black beans. Don’t mash them completely; just until the mixture is cohesive.
- Add 3 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha and stir well. Add 1 cup panko crumbs and 1 egg, and mix gently to combine. The mixture should easily hold together when formed into a patty. If it doesn’t, add more panko, little bits at a time.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2-cup each. Make each patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment lined baking sheet (or a plate is fine) and refrigerate the patties for a minimum of 20 minutes, or up to two days (well covered) before cooking.
- Heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the patties in the skillet (don't crowd them, do a couple batches) and allow them to cook over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Add more olive oil as needed.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese to the top of each patty after you have flipped it, if you want slightly melty cheese! (you do)
- Serve with ketchup if you want, I couldn't care less. Just kidding, serve these on buns with lettuce and tomato, with avocado too if you have some!
- Sriracha mayo: Add 1/2 cup mayo to a bowl and add about 1-3 teaspoons sriracha. Stir it up and see if you want more sriracha. This is my favorite sauce for these burgers!
Notes
- Cooked black bean burgers keep well in an airtight container for up to four days refrigerated.
- Reheat patties by pan-frying in olive oil until warmed through or microwave for about a minute.
- Freeze patties individually on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to freezer bags for up to three months.
- Thaw frozen patties overnight in the fridge before reheating for best texture and flavor.
