- Add the black beans to a large mixing bowl and mash them until you have a thick, chunky texture.
- Add the vegetable mix to the black beans along with the seasonings, egg, barbecue sauce, feta, and breadcrumbs.1 tsp ground cumin, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp dried oregano, 0.5 tsp chili powder, 2 tbsp barbecue sauce, ½ cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, 40 g feta
- Mix the black bean burger dough until thoroughly combined.
- Form the mixture into patties, using about ½ cup of the mixture each. Make the black bean burgers smash patties so they’re wider and thinner, rather than a chunkier patty. You should get about 6 patties.
- Place the patties on individual squares of baking paper and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight if you prefer.
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the patties until browned and crispy on both sides.oil for frying

Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
This recipe is perfect for freezing - cook the black bean burgers straight from frozen, allowing a couple of extra minutes.
My personal favorite toppings for these black bean burgers are a spicy chipotle mayo, American cheese, shredded ice burg lettuce, tomato, and sliced avocado or caramelized onions. Delicious.
