Ever since I wrote the post about Boca Burgers Exposed, I have been making it a mission to create easy veggie burger recipes. Like these black bean veggie burgers. You can read about the Boca Burger post here. This is a burger recipe we have been making for a long time, so I thought it was about time to get it up on the blog. These burgers provides a nice alternative that even older kids should be able to sink their jaws into. These black bean veggie burgers would be great on whole grain bread, in a sprouted corn tortilla or served over quinoa. The key to making this a tasty dish is the caramelized onions and the crispy outside.
This recipe makes a lot so you will be able to freeze some. That is what we do. These would go great with my Healthy French Fries.
