Description

Ingredients

• 2 -15oz. cans of low sodium black beans - drained, rinsed & dried
• 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 1 carrot, about 1/2 cup - grated & dried (or 1/2 cup juice pulp)
• 4 Tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 Tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce
• Handful of fresh cilantro
• Fresh, mashed avocado
• BBQ sauce
• Red onion
• All-seasons salt

Directions

• Rinse the black beans, then lay flat on a towel to dry while you prep the other ingredients. (For a quicker way to dry the beans; use a tea towel or paper towels and gently squeeze the beans) They should be at least 80% drier than they were after rinsing.
• Next grate and dry the carrot. Dry the grated carrot pieces by pressing between a paper towel. They should be dry to the touch after pressing.
• Add the the beans to a large bowl (reserving a 1/4 cup). Mash the beans with a potato masher or fork. The beans should be crumbly/pasty.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, including the reserved beans. Using a spoon mix all the ingredients together. Finish mixing with your hands to completely combine everything. At this point you can taste the mix and adjust seasonings if needed.
• Divide the bean mix into 8 even balls. Flatten each bean ball using your hands. To shape, cup your hands around the sides of the patty and gently press back into a circle with the side of your hand and pinky. Flatten the patty, again, to an even thickness . Flip it over and shape the sides again, if needed. Repeat with each patty until they are all formed.
• Lightly oil to your pan or grill and heat over medium-high. Once heated, carefully place the patties down one at a time. Cook for 10 min on each side, or until browned. (For an oil free option, these can be baked at 400º in the oven. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes on each side.).
• Top each burger with a generous amount of BBQ sauce, red onion and mashed avocado sprinkled with all-seasons salt.
