These savory black bean veggie patties are a delightful and nutritious option for a quick meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and cooked black beans.
Mashing the beans slightly helps bind the mixture together.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher until partially smooth.
Leave some texture for a better mouthfeel.
Add the grated carrot, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and all the spices to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Mix in the soy sauce to enhance the flavor and help bind the mixture.
Soy sauce adds umami and depth to the patties.
Form the mixture into patties of your desired size.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties for a crispy exterior.
Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
