1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and 1/3 cup (75 mL) warm water and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened.

Step 3

3. In a large bowl, mash the black beans into a paste, leaving a few beans intact for texture. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and the flaxseed mixture. Adjust the sea- sonings to taste, if desired. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

4. With slightly wet hands, shape the dough into 8 patties. 3 tbs of dough for each patty (1 big cookie dough scoop and 1 small scoop). Pack the dough tightly to help it hold together during cooking and place the patties on the pre- pared baking sheet.

Step 5

5. Bake the patties for 15 minutes, gently flip them, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the patties are firm and golden. Alternatively, grill the veggie bur- gers: Preheat a grill over medium heat. Prebake the patties in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C), then place them on the grill. Grill on each side for a few minutes until lightly golden.
