These hearty kidney bean burgers are packed with savory herbs, oats, and spices for a satisfying plant-based meal. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they can be pan-fried, baked, or grilled.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (9 oz or 265 grams) canned kidney beans
  • ¼ medium onion
  • 2 medium cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats or old fashioned oats
  • 1 handful fresh parsley
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Rinse the kidney beans and shake off excess water.
  2. Set aside half of the beans and place the remaining beans into a food processor.
  3. Add the onion, garlic, ketchup, oregano, chili powder or smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the processor. Blend into a paste, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Add the reserved beans, oats, and parsley. Pulse gently until combined and chunky. Avoid over-processing.
  5. Line a plate or tray with parchment paper.
  6. Remove the blade and shape the mixture into 4 patties about ½ to ¾ inch thick, compacting firmly with your hands.
  7. Place patties on the lined tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 3 days.
  8. To pan fry: Brush a skillet with oil and heat over medium-low. Cook patties for about 8 minutes per side until browned and firm.
  9. To oven bake: Bake on a lined tray at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  10. To grill: Place patties on greased foil or a grill pan over medium-low heat and cook for 7 to 8 minutes per side until browned and firm.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Smoked paprika can be substituted for chili powder for a milder smoky flavor.
  • Chilling the patties helps them hold together better during cooking.
  • Serve on burger buns with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite sauce.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
