------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many people have told me these are the BEST bean burger they have ever eaten. And they don't even contain beans!!!I have even served them to regular people. :)
You can find the recipe on page 151 of The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss.
You can find the bean version of the recipe here: foodytv.com/rec... but it doesn't include the smoked paprika and I recommend cooking them longer on one side before flipping.
These are great served on buns made of potato waffles. You can find that recipe here: • Potato Waffles!
It really helps if you chill the batter before cooking and these freeze really well.
This is the final video from my old kitchen.
Thank you for watching. I'm Chef AJ and I make healthy taste delicious.
Love & Kale!
Chef AJ

Hey Chef AJ! You're not lazy, you're efficient!

[@Robin-gf7bd]

I’m so glad to know there is a professional chef that considers herself a messy cook. I’m not a chef, but I am soooo messy when I cook.

[@nataliewhite9387]

I have tried to go vegan many times, and this is the first time I have ever heard some people don’t eat beans! It’s a relief to me as they cause a lot of discomfort to the point I don’t feel well... I will start searching ways to be healthy without beans! You have been a wealth of knowledge, love and encouragement- thank you for ALL you do!! God bless you!!♥️

[@magalissantiago2817]

The more you eat beans the more your system will get used to them, I am Hispanic we are raised on beans but when I became vegan I eat a whole lot more, and yeah my system did not handle it well but as my body got used to more beans and only beans sometimes I have no problems at all, beans are very healthy and good for your heart.

[@meman6964]

Start with small amount of beans, 1TB or so, build up a bit more everyday. Microbiome needs time to build up . The discomfort is because there aren't enough "good guys " in the intestines to complete digestion

[@janehope6569]

I found that beans needed to be soaked a day and then washed to get the enzymes off. Canned beans are not presoaked.

[@danacaro-herman3530]

@Chef AJ. I know you get alot of people telling you they like the shorter recipe formats, but I really miss your longer ones!!

[@linzertube]

Your new book is an amazing wealth of knowledge and great recipes! Thanks for the demo on the burgers. I love the wholesome ingredients.

[@pizmotality8136]

I’m a new fan after catching you on Rich Roll. Brava! Your story is inspiring and your energy is positive and catching.♥️ Thanks.

[@denisegilmer849]

I'm going to try this, I can't eat beans without my stomach hurting. This looks great 👍. Thank you 😊

[@LibraryChicks]

Gonna miss your old kitchen. It has served you well. Best of luck with your new home.

[@ruthel8900]

Fast, efficient and elegant. This chef is so clean, she squeaks.

[@cindystrother7710]

Thank you so much CHIEF AJ FOR making it easy for people like me WHO CANNOT COOK THANK YOU

[@pizmotality8136]

Haha. Guess you can cook now!

[@mowthpeece1]

It's funny, they don't look the least bit appetizing but you know they're going to taste great! And they're so good for you... I love black beans. I'd love to see a Cuban black bean recipe. Pureed black bean soup is aaawweesome! The trick is CUMIN. You can't be afraid of flavor and too many people are.

[@angiehenry798]

Going to order this book ASAP ! Your recipes seem so easy and healthy

[@doreenhutton2550]

They look like char grilled burgers, love the black rice to add to the Burger look. Brilliant and so creative! Sounds Delish! Love the rime saving tip to Double Recipe and Freeze. Hats off to you, Chef AJ. ps ordered Hannah yams on line, none in our town.

[@PEPPYY22]

Nice to see you cook in a kitchen most Americans can relate to, its inspiring to actually cook your recipes.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you so much

[@amberjohnston586]

Omg!! I made these, they are so awesome!! Definitely gonna make these a lot!❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

Glad you like them!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Can you share why Dr Goldhammer doesn’t allow nutritional yeast? Thanks. Looks delish!

[@CHEFAJ]

Because it's not a natural food, very high in calories and bad for many people's GI system.

[@IAmSherry12]

I'm definitely getting chef AJ's weight loss cookbook. These burgers look amazing but I really don't care for Mexican food all that much except for stuff that I can no longer eat like queso! Herbs?

[@vinnettepope8255]

Awesome vegetables burgers 🍔. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial recipe 😀

[@dianerogers3420]

If you add all her veg ingredients to refried beans they hold together and taste great.

[@AngieRenee969]

Hi Chef AJ, I am with ya, I would rather spend a few extra dollars to make things easier! I hate to chop up onions! Nice video! Have a great day!☺

[@CrazyCarmenMirada]

I made these yesterday while listening to your interview with doug lisle.

[@yvettesummers1339]

great recipe thanks for sharing. What I love about oil free plant based is that your oven is always clean ha ha

[@iamgratefula5313]

chef AJ, these look amazingly delicious. Im a bit lazy and I usually don't do recipes that take time, but I think ill make an exception for this one.

[@CHEFAJ]

Same here. Make a double batch because they freeze really well. Thank you

[@easycountrygardens2001]

Was surprised to see you utilize a non-stick pan. I won't allow them in my home after I did the research on them. I utilize my cast iron which is also non-stick, but safe to utilize.

[@belinda2221]

Easy Country Gardens You should read Neal Barnards book, “Power Foods for the Brain”, you won.t want to cook in cast iron after reading it.

[@CoachKhara]

Belinda Richardson goodness. Truly something wrong with everything... non stick, aluminum, now you’re saying cast iron??

[@easycountrygardens2001]

@@belinda2221 I primarily cook in stainless steel, as I have an induction stove top, and if cast iron is moved on the surface it can scratch it, but still utilize my cast iron on occasion.

[@kapushthethird]

Hi AJ, thanks for the recipe. Just want to let you know that my book is on page 156. I don't know if it's a typo or two versions of the book, but I thought you would like to know.

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes, p. 156. Thanks!

[@prizantsproducts4u]

Also you could add some whole oats or flax to hold them together better.

[@pawlet]

I'll eat the ones that fall apart. I bet they are delicious. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@lostboi3974]

Looks so good

[@natalieamore8195]

😍Sounds delicious and easy to make too. Could you make a bean loaf with this recipe? 🤔It would take a lot longer to bake because of the thickness .

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes just cook alot longer

[@maryhamilton2027]

Look good must make

[@cindystrother7710]

LOVE prepackaged products AWESOME

[@paulveg8524]

Here in the uk many of us are trying to reduce plastic. It’s a pity you admit to being too lazy to chop onions, as that laziness from so many people is what’s causing the plastic problem. I buy loose onions and chop them myself. The waste skins go in the compost bin.

[@CHEFAJ]

I live in an apartment with no outdoor, no compost bin or recycling. I also have a right hand that is not fully functional so It is hard for me to even hold a knife.

[@johannetrickey5015]

Thank you for writing about her shortcuts. By using the veggies from scratch it allows me to make homemade broth.Then I do compost.

[@thebudreamer]

Some people have limitations due to health reasons and if they don’t use shortcuts can’t make a recipe. Besides a lot of precut veggies are packed in cellophane which is biodegradable.

[@pizmotality8136]

Yes, plastic is a problem. But for some that are sticking their toe in the water of plant based eating, removing barriers is a net positive, I think.

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING your yummy delicious recipe

[@CHEFAJ]

[@nappyscribe1987]

Ok. Salt free chili powder. Burgers look good, my mouth is watering!

[@VintagePrincess27]

⁠@@CHEFAJ - Says page not found for the bean version…. Ahhh you directed me to buy the book for the recipe!! Got it. Will that be for all of your cooking demonstration videos? I’ve got so many food allergies and restrictions after my bone marrow transplant- it’s been hard to find WFPBNO recipes that I can eat. Thanks

[@franchescas5292]

It seemed like my oven was not as hot as it used to be so I took your advice and bought an over thermometer. It was about 75 degrees low - no wonder things were taking so long to cook.

[@CHEFAJ]

So glad you did that!

[@leperez333]

This recipe looks great, but the title of the video - "Chipotle Bean Burgers" - is mislabeled, I think. These are bean-less burgers for people who don't eat beans. The base is sweet potato and black rice. At the end of the video, Chef AJ calls these "The Best Bean-less Bean Burgers". Looks delicious!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks I fixed it.

[@cindystrother7710]

Awesome and amazing thank you so much for sharing

[@meman6964]

Do you start every recipe wíth a pile of onion? We don't digest onion or garlic, so use Astofidea spice from Indian market, but it adds no volume as the onions do

[@CHEFAJ]

Not every recipe, but the ones that call for onion.

[@rosanneandreas6303]

Great helpful video! Can u please post link to Chipotle Bean Burger video recipe? I can’t find it. Thanx for all your work! I got your book! ❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

That recipe is in The Secrets To Ultimate Weight Loss, page 161.

[@mayap6055]

I have never found fire roasted tomatoes in Germany… any tips? Will regular dann tomatoes taste as good..?

[@CHEFAJ]

You can add extra spices to the tomato mixture you use, but that will also work if you can't find fire-roasted

[@lisarussom5935]

I can’t find that potato in my area. Can I substitute a regular white potato?

[@CHEFAJ]

I've never tried that substitution. It may work fine but won't taste the same.

[@nappyscribe1987]

I wanted to see what bun you were going to use.

[@CHEFAJ]

They are great in romaine leaves or collard

[@suzik5981]

Thank you so much for naming this recipe, it will definitely be one I want to come back to. If you had all your stuff, would you use a nonstick or parchment paper?

[@CHEFAJ]

parchment paper still sticks I prefer a Silpat

[@rebeccacody1455]

Why use a Silpat if the burgers stick to it?

[@CHEFAJ]

They only stick if you don't cook long enough and clean up easier

[@belinda2221]

She also said if you chilled all the ingredients they wouldn’t stick, but she couldn’t do that here due to time constraints.

[@mayap6055]

Can you use the nutramilk as a food processor for fresh herbs like this ?

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes, you can use it as a food processor too .

[@mayap6055]

@@CHEFAJ thanks so much !

[@christinebollerud7404]

my husband doesn't like sweet potato or cilantro can I use russet and spinach?

I haven't tried that, but let me know if it works!

[@robynlogan9958]

they look fabulous.... what temp and for how long in the air fryer?

[@CHEFAJ]

I do everything at 400 until crispy These took about 30 minutes, depending how big your balls are. Shake or turn halqway

[@juliejoseph2201]

Could you put the burgers in the air fryer?

[@Skweepa]

No reason not to. Everything is pre cooked.

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes indeed

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Lovely. Look yum . Never seen the yams here in the UK chef AJ. Can I just use russet potatoes or sweet potatoes? Also may I ask, when we look at caloric density chart, does it refer to cooked or before cooking in relation to for example starchy vegetables. For example 1lb of potatoes is in the 400 bracket for cooked or uncooked? TIA

[@CHEFAJ]

I would definitely use sweet potatoes over regular ones

[@lisamann6058]

We have white flesh sweet potatoes which I think are similar if not the same as the hannah yams they are just not as large as the ones AJ shows you can get them from Morrisons or Sainsburys

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Thanks . Will have a look although not seen them as I shop in morrissons weekly but am in a small town

[@Robin-gf7bd]

How do you roast your sweet potatoes?

[@CHEFAJ]

In the Breville oven on the roast setting--400 degrees for about an hour or so.

[@Robin-gf7bd]

@@CHEFAJ thank you!

[@stephaddiction]

I've been sensitive to potatoes recently, is there something I can substitute it for?

Can't think of anything sorry
