Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

    • 1 medium sweet potato (~350 g), cut into ½-inch cubes

    • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)

    • ½ medium yellow onion, diced

    • ½ medium red bell pepper, diced

    • 4 cloves garlic, minced

    • 2 tsp smoked paprika

    • ½ tsp ground coriander

    • ½ tsp fennel seeds

    • ¼ tsp ground cumin

    • ½ vegan “beef” or vegetable bouillon cube, crumbled

    • 1 Tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)

    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    • Oil spray for baking

    For the lime drench:

    • 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil

    • Juice of 1 small lime (about 2 Tbsp)

    • 1–2 Tbsp agave syrup (or maple syrup)

    • Pinch of salt

Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

    • Spread black beans on one tray. On the other, arrange sweet potato on one half, and onion, bell pepper, and garlic on the other. Drizzle vegetables with oil, toss, and season lightly with salt.

    • Roast black beans for 15 minutes on the top rack. Roast vegetables for 15–20 minutes on the bottom rack until potatoes are fork-tender. Let cool for 10 minutes.

    • In a food processor, combine roasted beans, vegetables, oats, spices, bouillon, tamari, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until mostly smooth but still textured. Scrape down sides as needed.

    • Shape mixture into 9 patties (about 1/3 cup each) and place on a lined baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides with oil.

    • Bake patties for 15 minutes.

    • Whisk together lime drench ingredients in a small bowl.

    • Brush patties with lime drench, flip, brush the other side, and return to oven for 5–10 more minutes until golden brown.

    • Let patties rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

    • Use certified gluten-free oats or substitute with cooked quinoa or rice if needed.

    • Add more oats if the mixture is too wet; chilling helps firm it up.

    • Freeze uncooked patties for easy future meals—bake directly from frozen.

    • Pan-frying is an option for extra crispness.

    • Add chopped jalapeño or cilantro for extra flavor.
