under construction: carrot burgers

I would like to thank allrecipes.com once again! In their daily email yesterday, they sent me a link to this recipe for carrot burgers. Being me, I couldn't just make the recipe as-is, and had to tweak it. Here's what I came up with.

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots, cooked until tender
1 can black beans, rinsed and mashed
1/4-1/2 small onion, finely diced
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko
salt and pepper to taste

Mix eggs, panko, and spices
Stir in black beans, onions, and carrots
Form mixture into patties
Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high
Cook patties about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy

These ended up surprisingly crunchy and tasty, although missing "something". I think I could cut way back on the panko as well. Hence, the "under construction" title. I'll update when I figure out the best fix! Until then...

Happy, healthy eating
