Smoky Grilled Black Bean Burgers

Grilling season is back and your Rise Garden can help green your grill this summer. We love a good burger but grilled veggies are phenomenal. And, fresh herbs enhance any dish.

Smoky Grilled Black Bean Burgers

  1. Prep Time 15mins
  2. Cook Time 35mins
  3. Total Time 50mins
  4. Serves 4p

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • ​​2 cans black beans (14 oz), drained, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 orange snackable peppers, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (but regular paprika will do fine)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp smoky BBQ (we used Lilli’s)

Topping Ideas:

  • Pepper jack cheese
  • Artisan buns
  • Sliced white red onion
  • Mashed avocado
  • Mayo

 

Directions

  1. Step One: Pre-heat oven to 325*F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the bean out evenly and bake for 17 mins or slightly dried out.
  2. Step Two: While beans are drying, saute the vegetables. In a skillet on medium heat, add olive oil and saute the chopped peppers, onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent. Line a small bowl with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and place the pepper and onion mixture in the bowl to cool.
  3. Step Three: Once beans and mixture are cooled (5-10 mins), place all of the burger ingredients into a food processor and pulse together about 4-5 times or until the mixture has come together. Some smaller chunks of beans are ok.
  4. Step Four:  Form the mixture into patties. Using a measuring cup, gently scoop 1/2 cup and make into patties. Repeat 4 times. There may be a little extra for a mini burger!
  5. Step Five: Fire up your grill on medium high heat, place a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill, spray with cooking spray (or grease using olive oil). When the grill is ready (about 350*F), place the burgers on the grill and cook for 8 minutes, flip and cook for another 8 minutes. When there’s 2 minutes left, add the pepper jack cheese slices to the burgers. Remove from the grill.
  6. Step Six: Assemble the burgers and serve!
