  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegan

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa 
  • 1 small white onion, finely diced 
  • 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed  
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (sub gluten-free breadcrumbs) 
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste 

Instructions

  1. Start cooking the quinoa. In a small pot, add 1/2 cup dry quinoa and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on. Remove from heat and set aside. 
  2. While the quinoa is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 F.
  3. In a small pan over medium heat, add a little oil or water and sauté the diced onions for about 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Set aside. 
  4. In a large mixing bowl, mash black beans with a fork until relatively smooth yet chunky. Then add the cooked quinoa, panko breadcrumbs, BBQ sauce, cooked onion, and all of the spices. Stir until fully incorporated. 
  5. Grease a baking tray or line with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat. Form the mixture into 7 veggie burger patties* and place evenly spaced on the tray. 
  6. Bake in the center rack of the oven for 20 minutes, carefully flip the burgers, then bake another 20 minutes. 
  7.  Enjoy with extra BBQ sauce and your favorite burger toppings! Store the patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. 

Notes

* For perfect patties, use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect shape. (I learned this tip from Minimalist Baker) You can also use a 1/4 cup measuring cup lined with plastic wrap to get even portions, or just use your hands!
