Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, grated carrot, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
- Form the mixture into four patties, ensuring they hold together, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the patties are baking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- If desired, toast the burger buns for added crunch.
- Spread the sauce generously on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a veggie patty on top of the sauce, and then layer with a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices.
- Cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve the gourmet veggie burger sandwiches immediately with your favorite side dish, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the veggie patty mixture.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients like pickles or jalapeños for added flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can grill the patties instead of baking them for a smoky flavor.
