Baked Black Bean Burgers

Baked Black Bean Burgers

These black bean burgers have been a fav for years and they’ve recently had a makeover, so I’m finally sharing the recipe! They are the perfect dinner recipe for meatless Mondays or even for those days that you forget to take meat out of the freezer. You don’t need much to make them too, just bowl, fork, sheet pan and a few ingredients. They come together in about 20 minutes and are just as good reheated the next day! Pair them with a crisp salad or some air-fryer sweet potato fries and you’re golden.

When it comes to burgers, you’ve got to have toppings and sauces! You can really do whatever you like when it comes to burger toppings, but I have found a few that, combined, make these burgers out of this world! First, real mayonnaise is always the “sauce” of choice for my burgers. It’s just delicious. I also love to add fresh avocado, pickled red onions and a little lettuce. This is ALL YOU NEED. Seriously, these 4 toppings are just perfect. The pickled red onions really make it though. You can make your own by simply adding sliced red onions to a jar and covering them with apple cider vinegar. Let them sit in the fridge overnight.
