Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for barbecued black-eyed pea burgers.

Prepare 1 can of black-eyed peas by rinsing and draining them, then add to a food processor.

Chop 1 onion and add it to the food processor with the black-eyed peas.

Add 4 cloves of garlic to the food processor.

Add 4 cups of barbecue sauce to the mixture in the food processor.

Add spices: thyme, smoked paprika, oregano, and onion powder.

Grate 1 potato, squeeze out the water, and add it to the mixture as a binder instead of oats or breadcrumbs.

Add Worcestershire sauce and Bragg Liquid Aminos for moisture.

Pulse the food processor until the mixture is combined but not mushy, leaving some texture to the beans.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the grated potato by hand.

Decide to add a little bit of oats for extra binding, estimating about 1/4 cup.

Form the mixture into burger shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the burgers at 375°F for 25 to 35 minutes, checking for doneness.

Optionally suggest using an air fryer after baking for a crispier texture.
