Super crunchy + delicious



Ingredients

  • 2 cans black beans or 3 cups of cooked beans

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion

  • 2 cups grated carrots

  • 6 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 3/4-1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 4 Tbs low-sodium tamari

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds

  • 2 tsps chili powder

  • Sea salt + freshly ground pepper, to taste



Instructions

  • Process the oats to a coarse meal

  • Add black beans and pulse a few times so that it is roughly processed, not fully

  • Mix the flax and water and let it stand for about 10 min

  • Warm the oil in a pan, add onions and sauté until transparent - about 5 min then add garlic and sauté another 30-60 seconds

  • Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well

  • Make patties using a burger press (my very favorite is the Cuisinart Burger Press* which make beautifully shapes burgers) and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets

  • Place in the fridge for anywhere between 30 min and a few hours to firm up

  • Preheat oven to 350º

  • Bake burgers for 15 min, flip and then bake for another 20 min
