Ingredients

  • 1 can (400g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mash the black beans in a bowl until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
  2. Add breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, bell pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into 4 patties and let them rest for a few minutes.
  5. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  6. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes on each side until firm and browned.

Notes

  • Add corn or grated carrot for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Swap breadcrumbs with oats for a healthier option.
  • Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg for a vegan version.
  • Let patties rest before cooking to prevent falling apart.
  • Bake at 200°C for a lighter cooking method.
