Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C and prepare flax egg.
Add beans to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher (but not too much).
Pour in the flax egg and remaining ingredients, and mix with a large spoon until the patty mixture is well combined.
Form into patties to make them “burger” shaped. (This recipe makes 8 smaller patties or 6 larger black bean patties).
Place patties on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes.
Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings.

Storage Tips

Maximize freshness by storing leftover black bean burger patties in an airtight container. (Ideally, glass because it keeps food fresh for longer!)

- Fridge: These can be stored (properly) in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
- Freezer: If you plan on freezing these, I would do so before cooking them. Store the black bean patty mixture in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. Then, when you're ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge for a day and then cook up as normal.
