Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Spread beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes, until slightly dried. Set aside 1/2 cup of beans.
3. In a food processor, combine remaining beans, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, dill, and cilantro. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
4. In a food processor, pulse poblano pepper, onion, oats, and walnuts until desired consistency is achieved. I prefer a chunkier texture, so I only pulse a few times.
5. In a large bowl, mix bean mixture, oat-walnut mixture, reserved beans, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
6. Using a large cookie scoop, divide mixture into balls and shape into patties. Place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for 1 hour.
7. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Add 2 chilled patties and cook about 4 minutes on each side, until heated through and crispy. Repeat with remaining patties.
8. Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!

Enrichment Data:

To create a more consistent gluten-free vegan black bean burger with roasted black beans, consider the following tips:

1. Binding Agents:
2. Oats: Adding rolled oats or gluten-free oats can help bind the mixture, providing structure and texture[3][4].
3. Panko Bread Crumbs: Using panko bread crumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs can also help keep the patties together and add lightness[4].
4. Chilling the Mixture:
5. Chilling the mixture before forming the patties can help firm them up, making them less likely to fall apart during cooking[1][3].
6. Proper Mixing:
7. Ensure that the black beans are well mashed and mixed with the other ingredients, including spices and vegetables. Using a potato masher or your hands to knead the mixture can help achieve a consistent texture[3].
8. Adding Moisture Control:
9. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour or oats to achieve the right consistency[1][4].
10. Cooking Methods:
11. Baking or air frying the patties can help them hold their shape better than pan-frying. Baking at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or air frying can result in firmer patties[3][4].
12. Texture Enhancers:
13. Adding crushed nuts like walnuts can provide a nice texture and help bind the mixture[4].

By incorporating these suggestions, you can improve the consistency and structure of your gluten-free vegan black bean burgers with roasted black beans.
