Vegan Bean Patties
How about a quick and healthy lunch or dinner that’s even vegan ?
In this case, these bean burgers are the perfect solution for you !
The patties are prepared in 25 minutes, you need no cooking knowledge, the burgers taste just like meat burgers but they are so much healthier !
Jump to Recipe Print RecipeThe dish contains many plantbased proteins of the beans, some carbohydrates of the ingredients of the patties, lots of healthy vegetables and healthy, unsaturated fats of the seeds.
The patties are made of cooked beans, many herbs, sunflower seeds, some tabasco for a light heat and some flour. The consistency is soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Add whole nuts or seeds to give the vegan patties a crunchy consistency. They are so similar to meat burgers, you won’t even taste the difference! And they are so much healthier!
Serve them in a burger bun with your favorite toppings or as a healthy protein packed dinner with some vegetables!
Protein packed dinner option
For my healthy dinner option I like to serve the patties with flavorful vegetables and an aromatic rosemary tomato sauce. A bell pepper & zucchini salad made of lightly steamed vegetables with an exciting sweet-sour dressing goes perfect with the protein patties.
What you need to make this recipe
To make the patties, you need a strong blender to mix the ingredients together. A hand mixer won’t work for this recipe!
In addition, I like to use my oil sprayer to roast the patties and the vegetables in a pan: like that I can reduce the fat in the dish and they oil is distributing perfectly on the pan. To make sure, I get all the mixture out of the blender (I hate it to lose some of my food during making it), I always use a kitchen spatula.

Vegan Bean Patties
Equipment

- kitchen spatula (linked in the picture above)
Ingredients
Bean Patties:
- ½ onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 250 g borlotti, pinto or white beans cooked or from the can
- 5 drops tabasco
- ½ tsp salt
- pepper
- sweet paprika powder
- 15 g dried herbs
- 2 tbsp yeast flakes (my favorite is linked in the picture above)
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 30 g sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp flour
Bell pepper & zucchini salad
- 1 bell pepper red or yellow
- 250 g zucchini
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
Tomato sauce:
- 300 g stieved tomatoes
- rosemary
Instructions
- Chop onion and garlic cloves and roast them gently in a pan.
- Put the beans, spices, herbs, yeast flakes, tomato puree, mustard and roasted onion and garlic in a blender and mix, until the mixture forms little chunks.
- Use a spatula to get the mixture out of the blender and into a bowl, add the sunflower seeds for the crunch and the flour and mix it with the spatula, until it forms a soft "dough". Form 4 patties out of the mixture.
- Spray some olive oil onto the pan with the oil sprayer and let the patties cook there for 5 minutes on each side on medium heat.
- Serve the burger patties with the warm bell pepper & zucchini salad and the tomato sauce (my protein packed option) OR in a burger bun with your favorite toppings.
For my healthy and protein packed option:
- Cut the bell pepper and zucchini in long and thin stripes and saute them in a pan with olive oil (and some water) on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes. Make a dressing out of the remaining ingredients for the salad and pour it over the vegetable stripes.
- For the tomato sauce put the remaining onion and garlic together with the stieved tomatoes and the rosemary in a sauce pan and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
