🍲 Ingredients

Lentils – This recipe I made with my fav, Bob’s Red Mill’s lentils and quinoa for their #RedMillAndBlue celebrations for the 4th of July. These ingredients serve as a great base to bind the burgers together and are loaded with health benefits for your plant-based diet. Their lentils are one of my go-to’s in my pantry. Lentils are used extensively in Indian cooking and can be thrown into soups, curries, salads, and more. They also serve as a great base and nutrient source in vegan, plant-based cooking.

Quinoa – I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Quinoa for their #RedMillAndBlue celebrations for the 4th of July. Quinoa is a source of complete protein and a good source of dietary fibre. It’s naturally gluten-free, and is great in any vegan diet. Some of the benefits of quinoa are:

• One of the most protein-rich foods you can eat
• Contains almost twice as much fibre as most other grains
• Contains iron
• Rich in magnesium

👩‍🍳 How to Make a Vegan Black Bean Burger

1. Preheat your oven to 375F
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment and spray with coconut oil or olive oil – set aside
3. Into a food processor add all the ingredients for the burger patties. Blend till smooth, the mixture should almost stick together. Using a 1/2 cup mould begin shaping your patties. You can add a bit of coconut oil and bread crumbs to the 1/2 cup to avoid sticking, then smack down the mold and release your patty on the baking sheet. Once you have all your patties shaped then pat them down gently to flatten them for even cooking.
4. Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes and flip them halfway through. You want them nice and golden brown. You can also cook on a BBQ, on a cast iron or Tin foil for 10 minutes a side.
5. In the meantime prepare all your fixings, toast your buns, and make your thousand islands

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Add your sauce to the bottom bun then the rest is free for all
• Prepare the patties in advance. You can even freeze some between wax paper to have them available to go throughout the summer

🗒 Best served with

• Vegan Big Mac Sauce

👝 How to Store Leftovers

Store the extra burger patties and toppings separately in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the patties by placing them between wax paper, and having them ready-to-go for that busy summer night.
