Ingredients
- ⅓ cup dry quinoa
- ⅔ cup water or vegetable broth
- 1.5 cup cooked black beans (I use most of a 15 oz can of black beans and drain & rinse them)
- 1 egg (or egg substitute to make it vegan)
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp + 1 tbsp olive oil
- toppings such as sliced tomato, avocado, ketchup, & mustard on GF burger buns
Preparation
- Cook the quinoa by combining the dry quinoa and water (or vegetable broth) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, leave the lid on, and let the quinoa sit on the stove for another 5 to 7 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and set aside. Or you can use already cooked quinoa - it should be 1 cup of cooked quinoa.
- Drain the beans, and rinse them. Add the beans to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to mash the beans.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the cooked quinoa, egg, almond flour, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix well together so it forms a paste.
- Use your hands to form patties with the paste. Makes 7-8 patties. Brush the patties with some olive oil (or use olive oil spray). Put patties on a baking sheet.
- Bake the burgers for 10 minutes. Flip them over, add another tbsp of olive oil to the top of the patties, and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Serve on top of a veggie salad or add to GF buns with sliced tomato, avocado, ketchup, and mustard! Store burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
