Can I grill these black bean burgers?

Absolutely, Just make sure your patties are nice and firm first (chill them for at least 30 minutes). Grill over medium heat on a well-oiled grate for about 4 minutes per side. Pro tip: Use a burger basket or foil to prevent any potential crumbling.

How do I make these gluten-free?

Easy swap - just use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour instead of regular breadcrumbs. I've even used crushed gluten-free crackers in a pinch with great results.

Why do my patties keep falling apart?

Usually means they need more binder. Try adding an extra egg white or tablespoon of breadcrumbs. And don't skip the chilling step - it really helps them hold together.

Can I bake these instead of pan-frying?

You bet, Bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway. They won't get quite as crispy, but they're still delicious. Spritz with a little oil first for better browning.

How spicy are these really?

The recipe as written gives a nice warming heat, but isn't crazy spicy. Want more kick? Double the chili powder or add some cayenne. For mild versions, cut the chili powder in half.
