Cook the Burgers

In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Tips for Perfect Veggie Burgers

To achieve the best texture in your veggie burgers, make sure not to over-mash the black beans. You want to maintain some bean chunks for added bite and texture. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add more breadcrumbs to reach the desired consistency.

Experiment with different spices and herbs to personalize your burgers. Adding a dash of chili powder or some fresh herbs can elevate the flavor profile significantly. Don’t hesitate to try adding other ingredients like shredded carrots or bell peppers for a nutritious twist.

Enhancing Your Fries

For even crispier fries, soak the cut potatoes in water for about 30 minutes before baking. This removes excess starch, allowing them to crisp up beautifully in the oven. After soaking, be sure to dry them thoroughly before tossing with olive oil and spices.

Consider adding a variety of seasonings to your fries for a gourmet touch. Garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, or even a sprinkle of fresh herbs can take your side dish to the next level, making them irresistible and uniquely flavorful.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftover veggie burgers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat them in a skillet over medium heat, or place them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness before serving.

Crispy fries are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store them, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in the fridge. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crunch.
