Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 2 cloves garlic, minced2 medium carrots, shredded (about 1 cup)1 Anaheim or jalapeno pepper, cored and finely chopped1 (14.5-ounce can) black beans, drained and rinsed (about 1 1/2 cups)1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats1/4 cup chopped parsley1 tablespoon chili powder1 teaspoon ground cumin1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add half the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened. Add the carrots, cook another 2 minutes, and then add the pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl stir together the beans, oats, parsley, spices, hot sauce and remaining oil.
Remove the vegetables from heat and fold into the bean mixture.
Either mash using a potato masher or transfer to a food processor and pulse a few times. The texture should be half pureed, half chunky. (Pureeing them entirely will yield a gummy burger.)
Refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Remove the burger mixture from the fridge and divide into four portions. Pat each burger into a 4-inch flat circle, using a sheet of parchment or plastic wrap if needed.
STOVETOP DIRECTIONS: Coat the skillet with cooking spray, and place the burgers in the pan, careful to leave space between each one.
Cook for four minutes per side, carefully flipping using a thin spatula.
OVEN DIRECTIONS:
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet, flipping halfway through the cooking process. Spritz the tops with cooking spray for a crispier exterior.
Serving Size: Makes 4 burgers
