Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked black beans (drained) $0.99
- 3 tbsp ground flax seed $0.21
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded $1.00
- 1 tbsp chili powder $0.25
- 1/2 tsp sea salt $0.03
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional) $0.05
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional) $0.05
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the zucchini to the black bean and ground flax mixture. Add the spices and stir well, to fully incorporate the zucchini and spices.
- Form the burgers into 6 equal size patties, about the size of your palm cupped.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet (affiliate link) over medium heat. Spray with non-stick or add about 1 tsp. avocado oil and brush it out to cover the surface.
- Add the vegan black bean burgers and cook for 6 minutes over medium heat. Flip and cook 4 additional minutes.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
