RECIPE: Grillable Plant-Based Pizza Burgers
- Yield: Serves 6
Description
The key to having these super-easy six-ingredient veggie burgers hold together on the grill is chilling the patties before cooking them. That extra time is completely worth it to have a delicious and nutritious plant-based patty that holds together and — even better — costs far less than any standard mock-meat burger patty.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 13.5–oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats or instant oats
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2–1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp vegetable bouillon paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 6 buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash beans until lightly crushed, with some larger pieces remaining. Add the oats, pizza sauce, garlic powder, bouillon powder, and oregano. Mix well to combine.
- Shape the bean mixture into six 1/2-inch thick patties and arrange on a lined tray or baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. Or you can freeze for 1 hour to set them more quickly.
- Once the patties are chilled, heat a greased grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties until golden-brown and heated through, turning once, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Add the burger buns to the grill in the last 2 minutes, if desired.
- Sandwich burger patties in buns with your favorite condiments and toppings.
Notes
- Making burgers ahead of time? Transfer the patties to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months for future barbecue nights! If using them from a frozen-solid state, increase the cooking time by 2 minutes per side, rotating the patties by a quarter turn on the grill halfway through cooking on each side, so they don’t burn.
- A pizza-ier experience! Top the burgers with a slice of plant-based mozzarella and some plant-based pepperoni in the last minute of cooking and load them up with your favorite pizza toppings, like a pineapple ring, sliced tomato, and onions.
