Want to try a different recipe for your vegan burger? Try this fiery black bean burger that will spice up your tastebuds and satisfy your vegan burger cravings.
Start cooking your quinoa; for those of you new to quinoa, you’ll need to thoroughly rinse the quinoa first and then cook on the stove, one part quinoa, two parts water. While the quinoa cooks, chop your onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
When the quinoa is nearly finished, sautee the veggies. Add the rinsed black beans and stir to combine. Add spices, stirring continuously.
Remove everything from heat and allow your ingredients to cool enough to handle. Place quinoa, black bean/veggie mixture, and bread crumbs in a food processor and blend. You may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your food processor is.
Blend everything until all ingredients are well combined, but not so much that you have a puree. Form into patties with your hand. Place patties on a well-oiled baking sheet. The oil is essential to getting these patties their delicious texture: crispy on the outside, soft in the middle.
Bake the burgers at 400°F for 15 minutes, flip over and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
