To make the Black Bean Burgers
Black Bean Burgers, on a Brioche bun, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, Butterleaf Lettuce and Bega Tasty Cheese Slices. To make these, you'll need:
Makes approx 10 mini patties
- 1 can of black beans
- 1/2 bell pepper (capsicum)
- 1/2 brown onion
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
Slightly dry the black beans by placing them in the air fryer for a few minutes, while you sauté the diced bell pepper (capsicum) and onion with garlic. Then, blend the bell pepper and onion with all the spices. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, egg, and sauces, and add the blended mixture. Mash the black beans with a fork into the mixture before forming patties. For a crispy outside, you can add breadcrumbs after shaping the patties.

To make the Butternut Squash Fries
We've paired these delicious black bean burgers with golden and crispy Butternut Squash Fries. To make the fries:
- Cut 1/4 of the butternut squash into fry-sized pieces and place them in an oven-safe tray.
- Add a drizzle of oil.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp cumin.
- Ensure everything is well coated and cook in the air fryer or oven until golden.
To make the Baby Tacos
- Dice up 1/4 of the butternut squash.
- Add a drizzle of oil.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp cumin.
- Ensure everything is well coated and cook in the air fryer or oven until golden.
Once cooked, combine 1 can Black Beans, Brown rice, and Bulgarian feta. This rice mix is delicious on its own, or you can add them to a circular cut piece of brown bread to resemble mini tacos like we have done.
