The Easiest Vegan & Gluten-free Black Bean Burgers Ever
Being vegan and gluten-free can bring about a lot of odd challenges. One is finding vegan and gluten-free black bean burgers. Yes, there are tons of black bean and plant based patties in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store. However, a lot of them have some from of wheat in them as a binder, preserve or filler. And prepackaged products are always more expensive; definitely a time saver, but more costly.
Oddly enough before being both plant-based and gluten-free. One of our go-to weekend dinners was black bean burgers on a onion roll with a giant dollop of hummus and roasted red peppers.
This delicious recipe in the first step in re-creating that easy quick weeknight meal. This gluten-free patty has great flavor, texture and super cheap.

Avoid mushy black bean patties: By partially drying out the black beans. Spread out the black beans onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. This prevents the black bean burgers from tasting like mush and becoming a mushy burger.
Meal Prepping: You can also make the burgers ahead of time and freeze, reheating directly from frozen in the skillet.
Freezing Instructions: Cooked or uncooked black bean burgers freeze for up to 3 to 4 months. Stack between parchment paper in a freezer ziplock bag.
Can bake to prepare: Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (191°C) for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total.
