Instructions
Prepare the Beans
Spread drained black beans on a baking sheet and bake at 375F for 10 minutes to dry them out slightly. This step prevents soggy patties.
Mix the Patty Base
Transfer warm beans to a large bowl and mash about two thirds of them with a fork. Add rolled oats, diced red onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, and tomato paste. Mix until combined.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a firm round patty about 3 quarters of an inch thick. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Cook the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook each patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until a dark crust forms. Do not move the patties until they release naturally from the pan.
Assemble and Serve
Place cooked patties on toasted buns and top with your favorite vegan toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo.
