Vegan Zombie Burger Recipe

Prepare the Black Beans

In a medium bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

Mix the Ingredients

Add the oats, chopped onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and chopped cilantro to the mashed black beans. Stir until well combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.

Cook the Patties

In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and heated through.

Prepare the Toppings

While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Set aside.

Assemble the Burger

Once the patties are cooked, spread vegan mayo on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, and top with sliced avocado, tomato, red onion, and vegan cheese, if using.

Toast the Buns (Optional)

If desired, toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
