Black Bean Burger and Fries
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 450ºF.
In a blender or food processor, blend black beans, corn, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, salt and pepper until just combined.
Form two burger patties. Set aside.
Rinse potato and chop into thin fries.
Toss fries with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet.
Bake fries for 30 minutes, shaking the pan half way through.
While fries are baking, grill the burger patties. Heat oil over medium heat, and grill burgers for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you don’t have a stovetop, you can bake the burgers at 350ºF for 20 minutes.
Remove fries from the oven, assemble burger and enjoy.
