Cumin Lime Black Bean Burgers

These cumin lime black bean burgers from Desiree Nielsen’s cookbook Plant Magic are a high-protein vegetarian option that uses black beans, oats, flaxseed, and a blend of spices to create a flavorful patty. The burgers have a different texture compared to meat alternatives, keeping some beans intact for a soft and crispy texture. They can be made gluten-free by using suitable buns and are served with vegan mayonnaise, avocado, pickled red onions, and cilantro garlic sauce.

The recipe includes instructions on how to make the patties and freeze any uncooked extras for later use, making it a convenient meal option. The burgers can be prepared in a skillet and are suitable for freezing for up to a month. The toppings and sauce add layers of creaminess, sharpness, and freshness to the dish.
