Easy, healthy dinners are the best. That’s why I’m sharing this black bean patty recipe with you!

This is one of my favorite, go-to vegetarian dinner ideas. While you could eat it on a bun, I like serving it with brown rice, sour cream, and salsa. You can also serve with a few avocado slices for extra healthy fats!

Are black bean patties healthy?

I think these baked veggie patties are wonderfully healthy. They’re full of protein and fiber. Of course every one has different dietary needs, so consult your doctor to decide what is best for you.

I definitely think this homemade black bean burger is going to be healthier for you than something you would buy in the grocery store. While those are a great option to have on hand, making the burgers at home gives you complete control over the ingredients.

Tips for customizing your black bean patty recipe:

• Leave out the spices as a way to make a black bean patty recipe suitable for babies (check with your doctor)
• Add extra chili powder or finely minced jalapeño to make extra spicy black bean burgers
• Use gluten-free bread crumbs and check your spices to make them gluten-free
• Serve on a bun topped with a mixture of salsa and sour cream, some romaine lettuce, and a few avocado slices
