Cook 3/4 cup short grain brown rice per package instructions - mine usually takes 40 minutes.
Rinse and drain black beans and put in food processor
add low sodium tamari, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper and 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats.
Add cooked rice and blend until everything is mixed together.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put silpat on cookie sheet start to make your burgers. I get my hands wet first then take a handful of mixture and make into a patty. The mixture will be on the wet side, but if it is too sticky add 2 Tbsp of oats until firm enough to make into patties.
I usually end up with 2 cookie sheets full of burgers. I make them about the size of my hand. I wet my hands in between making each patty so the mixture doesn't stick to my hands. They cook better if they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Cook patties about 20 minutes, Flip and cook another 20 minutes. If they don't flip easily cook them another 5 minutes before flipping them over.
I save the extra cooked patties in the fridge, but you can also freeze them if you want. Reheating in the airfryer is a great way to warm them up the next day.
