Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers with Avocado Recipe MadisonM

• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
• 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and halved
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, peeled

• Arnold Sandwich Things or other thin hamburger bun
• 2 medium ripe avocados, seeded, peeled and sliced
• Romaine lettuce leaves
• Ketchup (optional)

1. Add in 3/4 of the black beans (note: not 3/4 cup, 3/4 of all the beans) and continue to pulse with the food processor for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the beans start to break down and ingredients begin to hold together.
2. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining black beans by hand.
3. Form mixture into six patties and place on baking sheet.
4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until edges become crisp and patties start to hold together.
5. Allow patties to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before placing on bun.
6. Or refrigerate until ready to use, then reheat in the oven or microwave.
7. Serve on thin hamburger buns, such as Arnold Sandwich Thins, with sliced avocado and lettuce, if desired.
