Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
3 baby carrots, grated (Optional)
⅓ cup chopped sweet onion
¼ cup minced green bell pepper (Optional)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon warm water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 slices whole-wheat bread, torn into small crumbs
¾ cup unbleached flour, or as needed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Mash black beans in a bowl. Add carrots, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; mix well.
Whisk chile-garlic sauce, cornstarch, water, chili powder, cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a separate small bowl.
Stir chile-garlic sauce mixture into black bean mixture; mix in bread crumbs. Stir flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into bean mixture until a sticky batter forms.
Spoon mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about a 3/4-inch thickness per mound; shape into burgers.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked in the center and crisp on the outside, about 10 minutes per side.
Recipe Tip
One egg can be substituted for cornstarch, but the recipe will not be vegan.
