Between homemade, restaurant, and store-bought, these are the best black bean burgers I’ve ever tried. With great reviews from taste testers around the world, I’m confident you’ll be satisfied with this veggie burger recipe! The trick is to partially dry out the black beans so the burgers do not taste mushy. Grill or bake the black bean burgers and enjoy on a bun, plain, or on a salad. They’re big, thick, and hearty and even meat-eaters love these.

Ingredients

pinch salt + pepper
2 tbsp. ketchup, mayo, or BBQ sauce
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs or oat flour
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. chili powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (1/2 of a large onion)
3/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (1/2 of a pepper)
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 (14 ounce) cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

Method

01

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spread beans evenly onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until slightly dried out.
02

Meanwhile, sauté olive oil, chopped pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until peppers and onions are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Gently blot some of the moisture out. Place in a large bowl or in a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Stir or pulse everything together, then add the black beans. Mash with a fork or pulse the mixture, leaving some larger chunks of beans.
03

Form into patties– about 1/3 cup of mixture in each.
04

To bake: Place patties on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (191°C) for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total. To grill: Place patties on greased aluminum foil and grill 8 minutes on each side. Heat temperature is personal preference as all grills differ. Generally, black bean burgers should grill on medium-high heat about 350°F (177°C) – 400°F (204°C).
