Vegan Black Beans Burger Recipe to celebrate National Burger Day

It’s National Burger Day today and we’ve decided to celebrate it with you by featuring a healthy Vegan Black Beans Burger Recipe from the Vegan Home Chef Ahlam Raffii 🌿

Any kind of beans would work perfect for burgers, so Ahlam thought to make another burger recipe but this time she wanted to add a new vegetable to the beans. Eggplant! Yes, It might sound strange but she gave it a try and it worked perfectly. Also worked as a binding agent to hold the beans together.

Ahlam likes every recipe to have simple ingredients, so with this one, you will just need 6 ingredients that you may have at home already. If not then don’t hesitate to visit todelli.com and buy them direct from farmers and producers.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 2 – 3 medium eggplants
• bunch of parsley leaves
• half of an onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 – 3 tbs of any kind of flour ( I used brown rice flour)

Optional:

• onion powder
• paprika
• garlic powder

• You will need olive oil for baking

Instructions:

1. First, roast the eggplants in the oven for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, blend the beans and garlic in a blender, until crumbly.
3. Add minced parsley and onions to the mixture.
4. Mix in the roasted eggplants and mix with hands until well combined.
5. Add salt, pepper and preferred seasonings.
6. Add the flour one spoon at a time, and mix in between the adding’s and try to shape a ball (it should feel like a dough that can be easily shaped).
7. Shape them into patties.
8. Drizzle some olive oil on a baking sheet and on the burgers and bake for 30 – 35 minutes at 200C.
