Description

This Southwest Black Bean Veggie Burger is loaded with yummy ingredients like black beans, brown rice, fire-roasted tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and roasted red bell peppers. Then top it with fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and my spicy chipotle mayo. It's sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned black beans, no salt added (rinse and drain)
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/4 cup fire roasted tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, diced
  • 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • 1/4 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp Bragg's liquid aminos
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400⁰ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir to mix.

  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Using your hands, form 4 balls and then flatten them into a patty. 

  4. Place patties on the baking sheet and bake. Flip them once halfway through cooking. Continue baking until browned and slightly crisp on the outside, about 30 minutes.

Note

These black bean veggie burgers freeze well. First, bake burgers and allow them to cool completely. Wrap the burgers individually in parchment paper and then foil (I also then place them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag). To reheat, unwrap burger and then place on a parchment-lined pan and bake at 300⁰ F until heated through, around 25 minutes.
