Tips

To help the patties hold together, consider using a small amount of breadcrumbs or oat flour. This can be particularly helpful if the mixture feels too wet or loose.
Enhance the patties with spices such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder for an extra kick of flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can also add a fresh, vibrant taste.
Although frying provides a nice crust, baking these burgers can be a healthier option. Bake them on a parchment-lined tray at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until they’re firm and golden.
Use flax eggs to make the recipe vegan. For more, check out our 'What Is A Flax Egg?' article.
You can make burger buns at home. For more, check out our 'Homemade Burger Buns' recipe.
Serve these burgers on whole grain buns with your favorite toppings such as avocado slices, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a spicy mayo or yogurt sauce for added moisture and flavor.
These patties freeze well. Cook a batch and freeze some for a quick meal option later. Just thaw and reheat in a pan or oven.

How To Store Black Bean & Quinoa Veggie Burger?

To store Black Bean & Quinoa Veggie Burger Patties effectively:

Refrigerate: Place cooked or uncooked patties between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container. They will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the patties on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then reheat on a pan over medium heat or in the microwave.
Cooling: Ensure that patties are completely cool before storing to prevent moisture buildup which can lead to sogginess.
Packaging for Freezing:

Use freezer-safe bags or airtight containers to protect the patties from freezer burn. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing to maintain freshness.
When stacking patties in containers, separate them with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, making it easier to remove individual patties as needed.

Thawing: When ready to use, thaw the patties in the refrigerator overnight rather than at room temperature to maintain texture and safety.
Reheating from Frozen: Patties can be reheated directly from frozen. Increase cooking time slightly, and ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.

These steps help maintain the quality and flavor of your veggie burgers, whether storing short-term in the refrigerator or long-term in the freezer.
