How to Make Black Bean Burgers

Full steps are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through on how easy it is to make these burgers.

Preheat the oven and prep your baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a pan you will saute the vegetables until they are softened.

Tools for Success

Baking Dish

You need to use a baking dish or sheet pan for making your burgers. The goal is to place parchment paper down or a silicone baking mat to create a nonstick surface.

Skillet

Reach for a medium to large size skillet to ensure you are going to have room to saute your vegetables. I find that quality skillets will create an even heat and you won’t burn pieces of your veggies on accident.

Potato Masher

If you don’t want to use a spoon or fork to mash up your black beans I have found a potato masher is a great item to use. It works quickly to mash up the beans to the perfect texture.

Tips for Black Bean Burger Recipe

Saute Vegetables for Flavor

When you take the time to saute your vegetables you will release tons of flavor in your veggies. It is going to truly enhance all the flavors of the veggies which will enhance the flavor of your bean burgers.

Even Sized Burgers

Make sure you evenly divide the mixture and create similar sized burgers. Otherwise, you can find that some of your burgers can become dry and overcooked while others might be perfectly cooked.

Variations to Vegan Burger Recipe

Seasonings

So I went with a Chipotle flavor for these vegan burgers, but feel free to play around with spices to create a variety in flavor. This is a wonderful base for a burger and if you want to change up the spices go for it.

Vegetables

Want to use up some produce that is in your produce drawers? Feel free to change up the veggies used in this recipe. Take note that changing the vegetables will alter the flavor. The key is to cut into small pieces for an even flavor on your burgers. Zucchini or peppers would make a great addition.
