Veggie burgers are easy enough to buy at the supermarket, but I personally don’t prefer the store-bought ones as it contains a lot of preservatives.
Also, when you prepare these black bean burgers yourself, you can create your own ingredients, combinations and flavors. The store-bought ones can be quite bland so you can really enhance the taste and flavor by adding your own spices.
Serve these patties on a bun with your favorite burger toppings and condiments. This Spicy Vegan Black Bean Burger is delicious and mouthwatering, packed with secretly healthy ingredients like quaker oats and peanut powder and spiced with onion, garlic, cumin and chili powder.
Also, you don't really need much oil or butter to cook them -- in fact, coating your pan with a quick spray of avocado oil is more than enough. Trust me, these black bean burgers are hard to resist with a melty layer of vegan pepper jack cheese and drizzle with jalapeno Mayo (vegan version).
So definitely, give it a try.
