Homemade Veggie Burgers
It is peak cookout season! As the summer months are winding down I thought I would share my veggie burgers recipe. This recipe can be made easily vegan by subbing out the breadcrumbs for vegan ones or using various flours (I recommend rice flour) to dry out the patty! The recipe is already posted on my The GujjuGram Insta page but this will have more step by step instruction. These burgers are super satisfying and make a great addition to any summer barbecue. I will preface this by saying these are very heavily spiced, so if you prefer a milder mixture please feel free to dial down the spiced and add as you like. The best part about these patties is they can be frozen and used in so many different ways! My dad cuts them into chunks and puts them on nachos, or turns them into wraps with his favorite spicy sandwich spread!
Homemade Veggie Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz. can black beans I prefer low sodium, drained and rinsed
- 1 15.25 oz. can whole corn drained and rinsed
- 3 Russet Potatoes peeled and boiled
- 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 1 green pepper diced
- 1 jalapeño diced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup garlic paste
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 2 tbsp. sriracha
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. Kashmiri red chili powder or paprika
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F and bake the drained and rinsed black beans on a non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes until the beans are fairly dried out. Cool completely. Make sure they are in a single layer, feel free to use two baking sheets if you have to or bake in batches. (Shout out to @sallysbakeblog for the baking tip!)
- Meanwhile, pulse all of the spices and vegetables aside from the corn and potatoes in a food processor until you have a cohesive mixture with a minced-like texture to the vegetables.
- Add the cooled black beans to the food processor and pulse until combined.
- Mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl with a fork and add in your vegetable mixture along with the corn. Fold in 1 cup of breadcrumbs with a spatula or with your hands. Depending on the moisture content of your mixture you may need up to an additional cup of breadcrumbs. Add in an additional 1/4c of breadcrumbs at a time until you have the desired consistency to form patties.
- Form patties using 1/3-1/2c of the mixture at a time
