Tips:
- Ensure you drain and rinse the black beans well to prevent the burger mixture from being too wet.
- Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, with some chunks remaining for texture.
- Finely chop the carrots, onion, red pepper, garlic, and coriander leaves to help the ingredients bind together better.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more bread crumbs until it reaches a consistency that holds together well.
- Refrigerate the formed patties for about 30 minutes before cooking to help them firm up and hold their shape.
- Cook the burgers on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice crust without burning.
- Experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your black bean burgers.
