Air Fryer Black Bean Burgers
Recipe Information
Black Bean Burgers
Cultural Context
Black bean burgers originated in the United States as a delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers, catering to the growing vegetarian and health-conscious movement. They celebrate the rich flavors of black beans and spices, making them a staple at barbecues and family gatherings. Today, these burgers are enjoyed globally, with various adaptations incorporating different spices and toppings to suit diverse palates.
black beans
🥗Healthier: lentils
💰Cheaper: canned beans
Lentils are lower in calories and can be more affordable.
bread crumbs
🥗Healthier: oats
💰Cheaper: crushed crackers
Oats provide fiber and are often cheaper.
egg
🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal
💰Cheaper: applesauce
Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.
cheese
🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast
💰Cheaper: vegan cheese
Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and spread beans out in a single layer. Bake beans at 350F 10-12 minutes until just slightly dried out. Allow to cool.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté 3-4 minutes until tender. Add garlic and sauté 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Scrape vegetables into a fine-mesh sieve and gently press on vegetables to drain out liquid. Set aside.
Place beans in a large bowl and use a fork to gently mash to a paste (you will want several chunks). Add vegetables, paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, barbecue sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold black bean mixture until just combined.
Form black bean mixture into 4 patties. Wrap well and refrigerate until ready to use (patties may be refrigerated up to 4 days and frozen up to 1 month).
When ready to cook, spray the grate of a 4-qt air fryer with nonstick cooking spray and preheat to 375F. Lay burgers in a single layer (we typically cook 2 at a time in our 6-qt) and air fry at 375F 6 minutes, flipping burgers halfway through cooking.
Remove burgers from air fryer and serve warm in buns with desired toppings. Enjoy!
