Recipe: Perfect Black Bean pattie (Vegan)

Black Bean pattie (Vegan). If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. Carefully flip them halfway through the baking time. Serve them on burger bun (I used a whole wheat one) with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

The recipe is loosely based on our vegan chickpea burgers but using black beans instead of chickpeas (of course) and adding in some walnuts for texture and extra spices to complement the black beans. The best way to do this is to roll a handful into a ball, then gently flatten it. These Vegan Black Bean Burgers are incredibly easy to make and you don't need any special equipment. You can cook Black Bean pattie (Vegan) using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
