For making tasty black bean patties, we need some things. First, we use canned black beans. I need to wash them with water first. Then, I need an onion. Garlic is important too. Breadcrumbs hold it all together. You can use normal breadcrumbs. Or use the breadcrumbs that don't have gluten. Spices make it taste good. Cumin and chili powder are nice. You can add bell peppers or corn if you want.
If you don't have one thing, use another. Use other breadcrumbs or spices. For the beans, I use a machine to mash them. A food processor is good to make them very smooth.

Cooking Tips and Troubleshooting
Sometimes, the patties do not come out right. They may be too soft. Or they may break apart. I will help you fix it. If they are too soft, add more breadcrumbs. If they break, add something to hold them together. I use flaxseed meal sometimes.
To stop the patties from sticking, use enough oil. For the oven, use paper under them.
Taste the mixture before cooking. Add more spices if you want. Everyone likes different tastes.
