    These are the best black bean patties for serving with rice, sour cream, and salsa! It’s a baked carrot and black bean burger that has been spiced with chili powder and cumin to make them just the right amount of spicy. Keep these veggie patties in the freezer and always have a vegetarian meal on hand!

    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!

    ingredients for easy black bean burgers

    Black bean burger ingredients

    • Canned black beans
    • Shredded carrots
    • Eggs
    • Breadcrumbs
    • Shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
    • Chili powder
    • Cumin
    • Baking powder
    • Salt
    • Olive oil
    • a bowl of mashed black beans
    • a bowl of veggie patty mix before forming into patties

    How to make this easy black bean burger recipe

    • Mash the beans in a bowl
    • Add the remaining ingredients except the olive oil and mix well with a fork or your hands

    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

      These look delicious! You said form them into 12 patties, but I was curious if these were 12 normal sized patties? If I’m only making these for 3 adults I’m assuming I should have the recipe then?

      Thanks so much, hoping to make them for dinner tonight!

        Yes, the recipe is very easy to halve. I usually allow 2 regular sized patties per person, so six would be perfect for 3 adults if you don’t want any leftovers. Enjoy!

      They look amazing! I guess I’ll offer them to my kids, they will probably eat it. They hate black bean soup or any beans.

      Have you ever tried freezing them? If so, how did it turn out? Cook them first or no?

        Yes, they freeze great! I cook them first, then you just need to reheat in the microwave, stovetop, or oven.

      Your thoughts In using ground oats or cooked quinoa in place of breadcrumbs?

        I think either of those would work just fine. Quinoa flakes (which are kind of like ground oats) might be better than cooked quinoa, which would have a lot of moisture in it.
