Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 onion, diced small
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

Method

1. 1

   Pat the black beans dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.

2. 2

   Mash about two-thirds of the beans with a fork, leaving the remaining third whole — this partial mash is what gives the burgers real texture and bite, instead of a uniform, mushy paste that falls apart.

3. 3

   Mix the mashed and whole beans with almond flour, egg, onion, garlic, chili powder, and cumin until just combined.

4. 4

   Form into 4-6 patties and chill 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties 4-5 minutes per side until browned and heated through.
