Savory Plant-Based Bean Burgers: A Veggie Delight!

Ingredients

• 1 package of shelled edamame pods (16 ounces)
• 1 can of drained black beans (15 ounces)
• ¼ cup of vegetable broth
• ¼ cup of creamy ricotta cheese
• 2 egg whites
• 4 garlic cloves
• ½ cup of nutritious wheat bran
• ½ cup of quick-cooking oats
• 1 teaspoon of aromatic ground turmeric
• ½ teaspoon of spicy chili powder
• ½ teaspoon of warm ground cloves
• A pinch of fragrant dried oregano
• A pinch of aromatic dried basil
• A pinch of flavorful Italian seasoning
• A pinch of salt

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and don't forget to give your baking sheet a light greasing.

Step 2

Now, let's get creative in the kitchen! In a blender or food processor, combine shelled edamame, black beans, flavorful vegetable broth, creamy ricotta cheese, egg whites, and zesty garlic until you achieve a velvety smooth texture. Transfer this vibrant mixture into a spacious bowl.

Step 3

Next, it's time to add some hearty goodness - gently mix in wheat bran, oats for a wholesome touch, turmeric for a vibrant hue, a kick of chili powder, a hint of cloves, the fragrant notes of oregano and basil, a dash of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt to taste. Shape this savory blend into 7 delightful patties and lovingly place them onto your prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Allow these patties to dance in the oven for about 20 minutes, then give them a flip and let them continue their tasty transformation until they sport a tempting golden brown hue and are cooked to perfection, which should take approximately 20 more minutes. Serve up these delectable creations and watch your guests' faces light up with delight!
