These black bean patties are a flavorful and healthy option for a quick meal, enhanced with a zesty twist.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and oregano in the saucepan until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes until softened.
Cut the bell pepper into small, even pieces for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, mash the drained black beans with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
Leave some chunks for added texture in the patties.
Combine the sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, salt, and chopped parsley with the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly.
Use your hands to mix for a more even distribution of ingredients.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Coat each patty lightly with flour on both sides.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid a thick coating.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides or in a bun with toppings.
Pair with a fresh salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
