Spicy Black Bean Burgers on Gluten-Free Buns

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned Black Beans, rinsed and drained
• 0.75 cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
• 0.5 cup Red Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Bell Pepper (any color), finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
• 4 buns Gluten-Free Burger Buns
• Toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, dairy-free mayo, ketchup, mustard)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2In a large bowl, mash the rinsed and drained black beans with a potato masher or fork until mostly mashed but still slightly chunky.
3. 3Add the gluten-free rolled oats (processed into coarse flour), finely chopped red onion, finely chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans.
4. 4Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
5. 5Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should hold together when squeezed.
6. 6Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
7. 7Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
8. 8Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
9. 9Alternatively, place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and lightly browned.
10. 10While the burgers are cooking, toast the gluten-free burger buns if desired.
11. 11Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
