Vegan Burger with Smoky Tomato Glaze

Method

1. In a food processor, combine black beans, zucchini, red onion, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and olive oil. Pulse until well mixed but not pureed.
2. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. In a small saucepan, combine tomatoes, ketchup, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
5. Toast the burger buns and assemble the burgers with the patty, tomato glaze, and fresh lettuce or avocado if desired.
