• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2In a large bowl, mash the 2 cans (15 oz each) of rinsed and drained black beans with a fork or potato masher until most of the beans are broken down, but still leave some texture and small chunks.
3. 3Add the 0.75 cup of gluten-free oats, 0.5 cup of finely chopped onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1.5 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of cumin, 0.5 tsp of smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper to the mashed beans. Stir in the 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix all ingredients well until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
4. 4Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty. Place the 4 patties onto one of the prepared baking sheets.
5. 5In a separate bowl, toss the 2 large sweet potatoes (cut into fries) with the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the second prepared baking sheet.
6. 6Place both baking sheets into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Halfway through the baking time (after 15-20 minutes), carefully flip both the 4 black bean patties and the sweet potato fries using a spatula. Continue baking until the patties are firm and slightly browned, and the fries are tender and slightly crispy.
7. 7Serve the 4 black bean burgers immediately on the 4 gluten-free buns, topped with your desired amounts of lettuce, tomato, and onion. Serve alongside the sweet potato fries.
