Vegan Black Bean Burgers

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the drained and rinsed black beans until a coarse paste forms. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Add the grated carrots, chopped sweet onion, minced green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the mashed black beans. Mix well to combine all ingredients. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chile-garlic sauce, cornstarch, warm water, chili powder, ground cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the chile-garlic sauce mixture over the black bean mixture. Add the bread crumbs. (1 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually incorporate the flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, into the black bean mixture until a sticky batter forms that can be easily shaped. Be careful not to add too much flour, as this can make the burgers dry. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Spoon generous mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, each about 3/4-inch thick. Gently shape each mound into a burger patty. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through in the center and nicely crisp on the outside. (20 minutes)
