Crispy Black Bean Patties

Jump to recipe

These crispy black bean patties are super easy to make. They use simple ingredients that you normally have on hand. Not only are they budget friendly but, they are healthy and kid friendly too!

When we first bought our house we did a lot of renovations. Sometimes we would be working on projects and need a quick easy meal. This was a perfect budget meal that was satisfying and easy to put together with out much effort.

We love that you can eat these on their own or as a burger topped with avocado and spicy mayo. This recipe we use them simply as patties served with a cumin yogurt sauce and fresh cilantro.

For the patties we start with a medium mixing bowl adding one can of black beans drained and rinsed followed by an egg, 3 cloves of confit garlic (slow cooked garlic in olive oil), one sautéed onion, 1/2 of a bell pepper, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and cumin. Next you take a potato masher and mash all the ingredients. Be careful not to mash to much you still want some of the beans to be somewhat whole.

Form the patties into your desired size. Next you heat some olive oil in frying pan on medium low heat and add the patties to the pan. Cook until crispy and heated through.

We like to serve our patties with some sauciness. We use whole milk yogurt mixed with cumin and lime juice. Top everything with fresh chopped cilantro and enjoy this healthy easy meal!
