Veggie Burger Recipe
A flavorful veggie burger made with black beans, eggs, and a mix of spices, offering a satisfying and hearty meatless option that's easy to prepare and perfect for grilling or pan-frying. This recipe is a delicious and nutritious choice for both vegetarians and those looking to cut back on meat.
Ingredients
For the veggie patty recipe
- 1 pound cooked black beans (about 1 ½ 14 ounce cans, drained)
- ½ cup regular breadcrumbs (or a little less)
- 1 egg
- 4 scallions or green onions finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons miso paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- A little oil for grilling
- Salt and pepper to taste
To serve
- 4 burger buns (if following a low carb diet, then low carb buns)
- Sauces salads, toppings of your choice
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Assemble all the equipment and ingredients.
- Finely chop the scallions and the garlic.
- Start your grill heating.
Cooking Steps
- Add the black beans, scallions, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, miso paste, cumin, and smoked paprika in a wide bowl.
- Mix together, then use a potato masher to crush the ingredients together in the mixing bowl. Don’t overmix — you want to retain some meaty texture, rather than mashing to a paste.
- Add the egg, stir to combine, and then add about two-thirds of the breadcrumbs. Mix them in, then add more as necessary until you have a mix that will easily hold together when pressed. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Divide the mix into 4 equal portions, weighing around 5-6 ounces. Roll them into balls, then use a burger press or a chef’s ring to form into patties.
- Brush both sides with a little oil.
- Over medium heat, grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice, golden-brown crust forms.
- Serve the cooked burgers on buns or bread rolls with your favorite toppings, salads, and sauces.
Notes
The nutrition information does not include burger buns. I like my burgers with lettuce wrap but if you are not following a low carb or low calorie diet, you can enjoy the burgers as well.
