Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup dry quinoa
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 15-ounce can (1 1/2 cups) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup oat flour*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Combine flax and 5 tablespoons water in a small bowl; stir. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, add quinoa and 1 cup water. Bring quinoa to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile: in a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Once hot, add onion; cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring. Add bell pepper and jalapeño; cook until vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add spinach; stir. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, add black beans and mash with a fork, leaving some texture. Add cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, salt, paprika, cumin, pepper, cayenne, and reserved flax mixture. Stir to combine. Add oat flour; stir.
- Form 8 patties.** Place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip, then bake for 20 more minutes, until crispy on the edges.
Notes
*In a blender or food processor, add oats. Blend into a fine flour.
**To get evenly shaped burgers, line the lid of a jar (I use a peanut butter jar lid) with wax paper or foil. Stuff the lid with the burger mixture, then flip it over onto the baking sheet and remove the wax paper.
***Store in an airtight container or bag for up to 1 week. You can also freeze and reheat these.
