Ingredients

• For the burgers:
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 small Ontario onion, quartered
• 1 cans (540 mL/19 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, plus more for coating
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 large Ontario carrots, shredded
• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for forming burgers
• For the slaw:
• 2 Ontario carrots, shredded
• 2 Ontario apples, peeled, cored and julienned
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp ground pepper
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, add garlic and onion and chop; add beans, oats, ½ cup bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper and pulse again until the mixture comes together to form a paste.
2. Scrape mixture into a large bowl and stir in carrots; let sit for about 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together all the carrot slaw ingredients and allow to blend overnight.
4. With oiled hands, divide the mixture into 5 equal portions. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Place remaining bread crumbs into a shallow plate and coat the burgers in the crumbs. Cook patties 2-3 at a time (do not crowd pan) and cook for about 2-3 minutes; flip over to brown the other side. Once they are browned on both side, place back on a platter and keep warm.
5. Serve burgers warm or at room temperature with carrot slaw and other toppings of your choice.
