I Made Chef David Lee & Love and Lemons Vegan Burgers... But Better!

black beans

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Lentils are lower in calories and packed with protein.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain provides more fiber.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

oats

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: rice

Quinoa is a complete protein source.

Add black beans and whole mushroom to the food processor and process until minced.

Add oats, Panko bread crumbs, onion, garlic, carrot, bell pepper, tamari, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the food processor.

Process all ingredients together until combined, adjusting the amount of oats and Panko as needed to achieve a moldable consistency.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine the sautéed vegetables with the processed mixture in a bowl, mixing well to incorporate.

Form the mixture into patties, adjusting with more Panko if the mixture is too wet to hold shape.

Cook patties in the skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Assemble burgers with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any other desired toppings.

Serve immediately.
