Hi Friends!
When I said I got my act together this weekend, I really meant it. Not only did I take pictures so I could post the Sweet Potato Banana Bites, I also FINALLY took pictures so I could share the recipe for my Greek Black Bean Burgers. Can I just say that I hate taking pictures of burgers. They’re kinda ugly. But they taste great!
To say we’ve been obsessed with these burgers lately would be putting it mildly.
We’ve been eating them for lunch, for dinner, on salads, on a bun and even crumbled in our omelets!
Here’s the recipe:
Greek Black Bean Burgers
by
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Keywords: bake burger appetizer entree sandwich healthy vegetarian black beans feta quinoa red bell pepper
Ingredients (6-8 burgers)
- 1 small red pepper, roasted, peeled & diced
- 2 3/4 cups black beans, divided
- 1 1/4 c cooked quinoa
- 1/4 c hummus
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 c feta, crumbled
- 1/2 c onion, diced
- 1/2 c breadcrumbs
- 1/2 – 1 tsp greek seasoning
Instructions
1. Put 2 cups of black beans in a medium bowl and smash well.
2. Add the quinoa, hummus, garlic, greek seasoning and onions and mix until well combined.
3. Add the red pepper, feta, remaining beans and breadcrumbs. Mix until breadcrumbs are well combined.
4. Mix and form into patties. Squeeze firmly to help make sure they stick together well.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes, flipping once.
These were inspired by the Asian Black Bean Burgers I made a few weeks ago. The basic formula is the same. I just tweaked the ingredients to give them a Greek spin 
Enjoy!

Seriously? These look so delicious. OK, when we get back home I have to make these and the Asian Black Bean burgers.

Hummus in a burger? You always have random ingredients in your recipes but they always work! These Greek burgers sound awesome!

DEFINITELY true.

Yummmm! I love how you added hummus to it!

You did a great job with the pics! Brown food is so hard. Pics in general are hard… I’d post twice as many recipes of I didn’t feel like it required halfway decent pics. Lazy, I know…

Ive never liked bean burgers until recently so I will def try your recipe! Whenever I make quinoa I have tons of leftovers so this is perfect for it!

These look delish! I am a HUGE fan of black bean burgers. I love hummus too.
Thanks for posting! It’ll be on my to do list. But first, time to buy black beans and some hummus.

awesome! hope you love them
Just made 2 batches of your sweet potato banana muffins. One with and one without protein powder. Of course the one without tastes better!

Haha burgers really ARE tough to take pictures of aren’t they?? I feel like that about any “meat” pictures I take of my dinners etc. I just say, “I swear they taste good!! Please believe me!”

haha i know!
These look amazing! I love how simple they are – sometimes homemade veggie burgers can be a lot more complicated!

thank you!!
I really like Greek flavors. What would be a good quinoa substitute?
hmmm, not sure. i’ve found that quinoa really helps my meatless burgers stick together. you could try brown rice maybe? or oats?
These seriously have all my favorites in them. And look so much better than the Asian ones if that’s possible. These need to be made asap

YUM!! MUST try this variation too!

These look/sound awesome! I happen to think burgers make for beautiful foodie porn photos. I don’t know why, but if you can capture the burger and all its layers just right, it’s a beautiful thing! LOL Maybe that makes me a weirdo… :/

haha not weird…i know what you mean… i’m just not very good at actually doing it!
I need to hire a cook!

Thank you for this recipe! IMO it looks delicious. But in my eyes it’s hard to make a burger look bad (unless it’s in a paper wrapper (aka fast food)) I’m totally going to make it this weekend and see how it satiates with the boyfriend as he is on a no meat for lent kick but craving it so badly.

awesome! let me know how he likes them!
I am such a fan of homemade veggie/bean burgers, so these look so good. I love the unique use of Greek-inspired ingredients. Where do you find the Greek seasoning?
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl recently posted..Portobello Mushroom “Steaks” with Peppers and Onions
i just found it in the spice aisle at my regular grocery store…it’s just all-purpose Greek seasoning!
Looks good!

I love the Asian burgers, so I’m going to try these soon.

Hi,
Stupid question: Is the quinoa cooked?
yes! it is cooked.
Those side salads look fabulous too. Got to say i like my salads with a drizzling of lightly roasted pumpkin seeds on top. So easy to do and they taste so good. Apparently better for you than nuts as well.
This looks DELICIOUS. I must try these!
