The Best Black Bean Burger I Easy DIY recipe
This burger is so delicious and packed with nutrition!!! Great for vegetarians, but so full of flavor everyone will love it. A perfect addition to your grilling party, and super-easy to prepare.
Pro Tips:
– easily use a food processor to make oat flour. Process until oats are finely ground, then measure 3/4 cup
– only mash beans with fork; using a food processor or blender will mash them to much
– top burger with any in-season produce you like…sprouts or cucumber are also a great additionBaked Crispy Fries
2 potatoes, washed (leave the skin on!)
butter-flavored cooking spray
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano or fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or use a silicone baking mat (this will make for super-easy clean up!) Spray surface with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut potatoes into ¼ inch thick sticks (first cut into sheets, then sticks!) Lay them out on the baking sheet so they are in a single layer. Spray them liberally with cooking spray, then sprinkle with half the salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Toss them around and spray again with cooking spray, and sprinkle with more the rest of the salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Sprinkle a small amount of pepper on.
- Bake for 20 minutes, rotate the fries, and bake 20-25 minutes more, until fries are light brown and toasty. Remove fries and sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
