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, but 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. Don’t let that deter you, though. I promise they taste great!

To say we’ve been obsessed with these burgers lately would be putting it mildly.

These Greek Black Bean Burgers are a great meatless option. Make a batch on the weekend to have on hand for quick, easy meals throughout the week! Try them on a bun, on salads, or crumbled in an omelet!

We’ve been eating them for lunch, for dinner, on salads, on a bun, and even crumbled in our omelets. They’re easy and super versatile, as well as extremely delicious!

Here’s the recipe:

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 🙂

  23. 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… :/

  25. 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. 🙂

  30. 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.

  4. […] Friday’s Greek Black Bean Burger with butternut squash and green beans. (I ate most of the beans before remembering to take the photo.) This was my own meal. After having an 11-Point DietToGo breakfast and fast-food burger and fries for lunch (because I wasn’t where I planned to be — home — and needed something to eat before I’d get there), I needed something lower in Points to round out my day. I really love those burgers. I think I like them more than the Asian Black Bean Burgers I made first. […]
