Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
Base and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crush black beans in a spacious mixing vessel, maintaining a rustic texture with some intact fragments.
- Incorporate quinoa, finely diced onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, and aromatic spices into the bean mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Craft uniform patties approximately half-inch thick, ensuring consistent shape and even cooking potential.
- Arrange patties on parchment-lined baking tray, preparing for transformative roasting.
- Slide tray into preheated oven at 375F (190C), allowing patties to develop golden exterior and crisp edges.
- Midway through cooking duration (around 12-15 minutes), carefully rotate patties to encourage balanced caramelization.
- Continue baking for additional 10-15 minutes until exterior achieves rich, amber-brown coloration and interior maintains moist consistency.
- Remove from oven and let patties rest momentarily for structural stabilization.
- Transfer onto toasted burger buns, embellishing with preferred condiments and fresh garnishes for complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Customize bean texture by partially mashing beans for better burger structure and interesting mouthfeel.
- Mix quinoa thoroughly to ensure even protein distribution and prevent patties from falling apart during baking.
- Add extra binding ingredients like ground flaxseed or egg replacement for gluten-free or vegan versions that hold together perfectly.
- Experiment with spice combinations such as smoked paprika or chili powder to elevate flavor profile and create unique taste experiences.
