Black Bean Veggie Burger

Step 1

Rinse and drain black beans. Add ground flax seed and mash half the black beans with a fork, making sure to incorporate the ground flax seed into the mash.

Step 2

Let the ground flax and mashed beans sit together while you grate the zucchini. You can use your food processor attachment or grate by hand.

Step 3

Once the zucchini has been grated, you will have to wring out the excess water. You can use your hands or a clean cheese cloth to do this.

Step 4

Add the zucchini to the black bean mixture. Add the spices and stir well, to fully incorporate the zucchini and spices.

Step 5

Form the burgers into 4 equal size patties, about the size of your palm cupped.

Step 6

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick or add about 1 tsp. avocado oil and brush it out to cover the surface.

Step 7

Add the black bean burgers and cook for 6 minutes over medium heat. Flip and cook 4 additional minutes.
