Bunless Veggie Burgers
Your search for delicious veggie burgers is over! These hearty burgers are not only nutritious but are also loaded with flavor and high in fiber (8 g). Enjoy them on a gluten-free bun, or keep them low-carb with lettuce wraps.
Ingredients
- 8.1 oz black beans drained
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup carrot, grated
- 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 TB ground chia seeds
- 1 oz gluten-free oats
- 1 TB tamari
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil, plus additional drizzle to fry
- Lettuce, tomatoes, and mayonnaise to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
- Spread the drained beans out on a large tray and place them in the oven for several minutes (no more than 10 minutes) until they are dry and just starting to roast.
- Place the beans into a food processor along with the remaining ingredients and pulse until broken down and slightly smoother – but retaining some texture. In other words, you don’t want a paste. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Form 4 equal portions from the mixture and use clean hands to shape them into patties.
- Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the patties over medium-high heat until golden and caramelized on all sides, approximately 5 minutes in total.
- Sprinkle on some salt flakes and serve over lettuce (with tomatoes and a drizzle of mayonnaise if you like!)
