- Mashing the Beans
Place the black beans in a bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth but with some small chunks left for texture. Removing excess moisture helps the patties hold together.
- Adding Vegetables & Seasoning
Mix in chopped onion, garlic, grated carrot, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined. The vegetables add moisture, flavor, and structure.
- Binding the Mixture
Add the egg and breadcrumbs. Stir until the mixture becomes firm enough to shape. Adjust with more breadcrumbs if too wet.
- Forming the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into patties about 1.5 cm thick. Press gently to keep them compact and even.
- Searing the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Toasting the Buns Lightly butter
the buns and toast them cut-side down until golden. This adds flavor and prevents the bun from absorbing moisture from the patty.
- Assembling the Burger
Layer lettuce on the bottom bun, add the veggie patty, then top with tomato slices, pickles, and optional extras like avocado or hummus. Close with the top bun.
