3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Once cooled, shape bean mixture into patties (whatever size you'd like), and place on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, flip patties with spatula, and bake 10 minutes more. Serve on buns or by themselves. Enjoy! We decided to pair ours with a bed of spinach, avocado and Sriracha sauce. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring, try this recipe and see for yourself!
