Ingredients
Instructions
-
Soak the dried beans in water overnight or according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the beans before using.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mash the soaked beans with a fork or a potato masher until they form a chunky paste.
-
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed beans. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
-
Divide the bean mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties using your hands. If the mixture is too wet to form patties, add more breadcrumbs as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bean patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the patties are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the Dried Bean Patties hot on a bun with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, or your preferred sauce. These patties also pair well with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
