How to Make It
Alright, let’s plunge into making these deliciously sneaky vegan burgers. You’ll start by warming up 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan and sautéing 1 clove of minced garlic along with 1/4 of a finely diced red onion, plus your aromatic spices—half a teaspoon each of coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper, and a whole teaspoon of chili flakes.
This combo makes your kitchen smell like a plant-based fiesta. Once the onion turns translucent and all those spices are doing their magic, toss in half of your 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans and let them mingle with the spices for a minute or so.
Now, off the heat and into your trusty food processor goes the sautéed mix, along with that beautiful grated quarter beetroot, a pinch of salt and pepper, your chia egg (the vegan glue holding it all together), and 1/4 cup of oat flour.
Pulse it until you get a mix that’s smooth but still has some chunky character—because nobody wants a mushy burger pretending to be a patty. Then, add in the rest of those black beans and give it a few quick pulses to keep things chunky and fun.
This is your burger base, ready to be shaped, baked at 180°C, and transformed into the star of your next plant-powered meal. Your taste buds are about to throw a vegan party, so get those buns ready!
