black bean burgers - fat free - vegetarian

Ingredients//

• 1/2 medium-sized white onion
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 medium bell pepper
• 1 1/2 cup mashed black beans
• 1 large carrot - grated
• cos lettuce - the bun
• optional add-ins - cummin, basil, oregano, no-salt added tomato paste (I was going to add these in, but literally forgot, still tastes awesome so those spicy babies will have to wait for next time!)

Toppings - tomato, red onion, & avocado

Directions//

1. Boil black beans until soft
2. Mash them - I used a potato masher & a fork (I'm so fancy)
3. Chop bell pepper & onion
4. Grate carrot - fav color
5. Add chopped ingredients to bean mix & mash together well
6. Add eggs
7. Form into patty-shaped circles about 1- 1.5 inch thick - It may be a little difficult, stick with it! They will form together more after cooking trust me
8. Spread tin foil onto a flat baking tray and spray with canola oil
9. Cook in the oven for 375 degrees for 25-28 minutes 
10. Prepare toppings while patties are cooking
1. slice tomato, avocado, & red onion 
2. wash and pick off a sheet of cos lettuce (or two, cause I ate two of these beanie beauties)
11. Remove patties from oven - make a burger snowman - BOOM ENJOY!

meatless burgers happen.

be GOOD to YOURSELF,
