How to Make Bean Burgers
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, chop 1 cup of sunflower seeds until finely ground.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground sunflower seeds with 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Let the patties cool slightly until you can gently handle them.
- Carefully flip the patties and bake for an additional 15 minutes on the other side, or until heated through and slightly browned.
- Serve on your favorite buns with your preferred toppings. Enjoy!
