Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and spread beans out in a single layer. Bake beans at 350F 10-12 minutes until just slightly dried out. Allow to cool.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and saute 3-4 minutes until tender. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute until fragrant.
• Scrape vegetables into a fine-mesh sieve and gently press on vegetables to drain out liquid. Set aside.
• Place beans in a large bowl and use a fork to gently mash to a paste (you will want several chunks) Add vegetables, paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, barbecue sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold black bean mixture until just combined.
• Form black bean mixture into 4 patties. Wrap well and refrigerate until ready to use (patties may be refrigerated up to 4 days and frozen up to 1 month)
• When ready to cook, spray the grate of a 4-qt air fryer with nonstick cooking spray and preheat to 375F.** Lay burgers in a single layer (we typically cook 2 at a time in our 6-qt) and air fry at 375F 6 minutes, flipping burgers halfway through cooking.
• Remove burgers from air fryer and serve warm in buns with desired toppings. Enjoy!

BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Mash the beans.
• Using a fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole bean pieces throughout.
• Make the burger mixture.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, grated onion, chili powder, egg and some salt and pepper into the beans. Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Set aside for 5 minutes. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of canola oil.
• Form the patties.
• Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal balls and form into 4 nice, neat patties. Black bean burgers don't shrink when they cook, so whatever size you make them when they go into the skillet will be the size they are when they come out.
• Cook the burgers.
• Cook the burgers until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the top of each burger. Invert a second skillet on top of the first skillet and continue cooking, 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top the burgers.
• Combine the mayonnaise and some hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with the spicy mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
