Preparation

  1. Add the red pepper and onion to a food processor, and pulse until minced. Pour into the large mixing bowl.

  3. Add the beans and cilantro to the processor, and blend until almost smooth (a few chunks of bean is okay). Pour into the mixing bowl.
  4. Pour your oats into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients, and stir well to combine.
  5. Form into tight palm-sized patties, and place each into an air fryer, or baking sheet.
  6. Air fry at 350° for 10 minutes. If baking, bake at 350° for 25 minutes. If they stick to the parchment paper, bake 5-10 minutes more.
