Preparation

Step 1

Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse until combined. Place bean mixture in a large mixing bowl and add breadcrumbs and remaining can of black beans. Stir to combine. Taste; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-low heat.
Form beans into patties. Be sure to make them the same size as your hamburger bun! Spray grill with cooking spray and grill patties about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
Serving suggestions: Lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, crisp cooked bacon, guacamole, mustard, ketchup...the list is endless! Make them like you'd eat your hamburgers, but make sure to add some crunch.

Yield: 4-5 bean burgers, depending on size.
