These Black Bean Veggie Burgers are absolutely delicious. Oven-baked and made with gluten-free ingredients. Such an easy and healthy vegetarian recipe to try (even my husband loves these!).

Ingredients

Scale
  • 28-ounces black beans (I used 2 14-ounce cans)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 small red bell pepper or 1/2 large bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 large white onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs (I crushed up these crackers!)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese (or sub another cheese or vegan cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • For serving: buns of choice, lettuce wrap or add to salad
  • For topping: cheese, avocado, pickled onions, your favorite burger topping!

Instructions

1. Prepare the Black Beans

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Start by draining and rinsing the black beans. Pat them dry then add to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes so they dry out a bit.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

3. Combine the Ingredients

To a food processor, add the sautéed vegetables, eggs, goat cheese, and gluten-free breadcrumbs, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until all ingredients are combined. Then add in the black beans and mash together with a fork so everything is combined.

4. Form the Patties

With your hands or a 1/2 cup measuring cup, form the mixture into patties. This recipe should make about 6-8 patties, depending on the size you prefer. If the mixture is too sticky, you can add a bit more breadcrumbs to help bind it.

5. Cook the Patties

Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, you can bake the patties in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F for about 20-22 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the black bean veggie burgers on gluten-free buns with your favorite toppings and condiments. Popular choices include lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a bit more ketchup or mustard. These burgers also pair wonderfully with a side salad or sweet potato fries.
