These veggie burgers are full of flavor and amazingly healthy. They have a great texture and they hold up well when you bake them without being dry or mushy! And they are SO easy to make!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 15 oz. canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup sweet potato grated (1 small sweet potato, raw)
  • 2 eggs see notes for alternative
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped or grated
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds preferably toasted
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • buns, sprouts, mayo, lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc. for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  2. If time allows, refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of four hours (or as long as a few days).
  3. Remove from refrigerator and press the mixture down to form a flat surface, then slice the mixture like a cake into eight equal portions.
  4. Form the mixture into 8 patties and place on a parchment covered baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
  6. Serve on a toasted bun with sprouts, cucumbers, red onions, tomato, lettuce, mayo, or whatever other toppings you want!

Notes

  • For a vegan / egg free version, use flax or chia egg substitutes.
  • For easy weeknight meals, make extra burgers and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for later.
  • Don't have quick cooking oats? Rolled/old fashioned oats will also work, but I suggest giving the mixture more time in the refrigerator so the oats absorb more of the liquid. Otherwise, your patties may fall apart or be hard to form. Bread crumbs can also be used.
  • Recipe inspired by the "Our Favorite Veggie Burger" recipe in The Oh She Glows Cookbook (from the blog ohsheglows.com)
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
