Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Place the red pepper and onion in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until minced. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- To the food processor, add the almonds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseed meal, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
- Blend until it has combined into a coarse grainy mixture. Scrape into the mixing bowl with the onion and red pepper.
- Place the black beans, oats, and 2 tablespoons water in the food processor.
- Puree until the beans are mostly smooth with a few small pieces remaining.
- Transfer to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Scoop the burger mixture in 1/3 cup portions into your hands. Shape into palm-sized patties that are about 1 inch thick.
- Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake 5-10 additional minutes, until heated through and the outsides are lightly crisp. Serve on buns with any desired toppings.
