Spicy Black Bean Smash Burgers with Sweet Heat Sauce
Crispy-edged black bean smash burgers with a bold sweet heat sauce. Hearty, satisfying, and packed with plant-based protein.
Ingredients
Method
- Make the sauce: whisk together mayo, sriracha, honey, and vinegar. Refrigerate until needed.
- Mash black beans in a large bowl, leaving some chunks for texture. Mix in breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, and spices.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal balls. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with a thin coat of oil.
- Place a bean ball in the pan and immediately smash flat with a spatula. Cook 3–4 minutes until a dark crust forms.
- Flip carefully and cook 2–3 more minutes. Add cheese if desired in the last minute.
- Serve on toasted buns with sweet heat sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
Notes
Refrigerate the bean mixture for 30 minutes before cooking for patties that hold together better.
