Bean and Barley Kale Burgers

I just realized I need more meatless burgers in my life. Like really, why haven't I made them before? I need a few for my cookbook anyway, so I decided to make one! This one is Vegan, simple, and pretty yummy. It's also baked and crispy!

Isn't it pretty? Well the salad next to it is. The Bean burger goes great with my Radical Rainbow Salad 
The Bean burger is pretty cute too, up close you can see all the kale, and little barley pieces. It smells amazing too!  So the recipe is below. Remember to try to use organic!



Bean and Barley Kale Burgers

*1 cup Pinto Beans, cooked
*1 cup cooked Barley
*1/4 cup Kale
*1/4 Shitaki mushrooms
*1 tbsp Onion Powder
*1 tbsp Dijon mustard
*1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
*1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
*1Tbsp Water 

Add all ingredients into a food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes on high, till it's thoroughly mixed. 

   (This is before it was mixed )


Next, scoop the mixture out and place on a greased baking sheet, and press into a burger shape. Bake at 350 Degrees, for 45 - 55 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. 

 Next simply put them on a whole wheat bun, or enjoy next to a salad. They're about 98 Calories per burger. 

 Enjoy :)
