You all know how much I like to cook and eat. But if I am looking to lose a few pounds I find it necessary to not only watch my calories, but I try and cut back on the carbs a bit too. This burger fits right into that and I am not feeling deprived at all. In fact, I eat these even when just maintaining my weight because they are just so good. Black soy beans have lots of fiber, so the net carbs are low. I think they taste just like regular black beans, so you can substitute them wherever you would use black beans. I have only been able to find them in my local health food store or online. The brand I use is Eden.
INGREDIENTS:
Drain and rinse your can of soy beans. Save 2-3 tablespoons of the juice from beans. Put beans in bowl, and smash with fork, leaving some chunks. If you prefer you can do this in a food processor but be careful to only pulse a few times so you don't turn it into a paste, you want some bean chunks. Add diced onion, diced peppers, almond flour, and taco seasoning. Mix well and add your bean juice as needed to get them to stick together well. Form into 3 large patties, and you can bake these at 420 degrees for about 30-35 min, flipping once until good and brown. They should be crunchy on the outside. They are also excellent in the air fryer for about 25 minutes. (that is how I prepared this one) Top with your favorite toppings. I found guacamole and salsa to be an excellent choice.
Each burger contains approx. 179 calories, and 4 net carbs.
