Black Bean Burgers

Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients:
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 can black beans
1/2 cup minced onion
2 TBS ketchup
1 TBS rolled oats
1 TBS basil

Note: I recommend you make a "double batch" for bigger burgers, depending on your food processor size, make the mix twice and combine it in a big bowl. More ingredients = bigger burgers!

Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a baking sheet
Step 2: Chop sunflower seeds in the food processor (or similar food chopping device), place into large bowl
Step 3: Mash black beans in food processor (it should look like black bean paste), place into large bowl
Step 4: Mix onion, ketchup, rolled oats and basil with the beans and sunflower seeds
Step 5: Form into patties and place on baking sheet
Step 6: Bake for 25 minutes, flip over, "smoosh" down the patties a little bit (they are more likely to bake through), bake for another 10 minutes
Step 7: Enjoy!


My recommendation: Pair this with "white bean, potato and asparagus salad," and some corn on the cob and you have the perfect summer dinner!
