Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers

And, I'm back!  It was a long hiatus, but I'm back with new recipes, renewed faith in what clean eating can do for my body, and best of all, a new last name!

Here's a delish recipe for Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers that I tweaked from a recipe I found in Women's Health:

Ingredients:

• 1 can low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 c. chopped red onion
• 3/4 c. shredded carrots
• 1/2 c. dry quick cooking oats (you could also use quinoa or brown rice)
• 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. garlic powder

Directions:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor ad pulse until combined.
• Form into 4 patties (or, if too thin, spoon onto grill pan and cook like a pancake)
• Spray a grill pan with nonstick spray
• Heat pan, and cook until browned on both sides

Enjoy!!
