Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients:

• 2- 14 ounce cans reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed well
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/2 large yellow onion
• 1/2 green or orange bell pepper( depending on your preference), seeds removed
• 1 large carrot
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup herbed bread crumbs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper.

Add carrot, onion, garlic, and bell pepper to food processor and pulse until minced and well combined.*

In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork to make a paste. Add carrot mixture to the beans, as well as the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.

Form mixture into 8 burger patties (they will be wet and sticky). Place on baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to brown and are crispy.

Serve with avocado, tomato, lime sour cream, or any other desired toppings and enjoy!

*The original directions state to transfer the carrot mixture to a fine mesh strainer to remove any excess liquid but I accidentally skipped this step and did not have any issues with my burgers.
