Method

If baking the burgers, preheat the oven to 160ºC (350ºF) and grease a baking sheet with a little spray coconut oil
Put the red pepper, red onion chunks, garlic cloves and sun-dried tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Whizz to combine
Tip out the tomato and pepper contents into a large mixing bowl
Place the cashews, pumpkin seeds, goji berries into a blender or food processor along with the spices and whizz to form a grainy texture (allow for some gritty bits to add texture to the burgers)
Tip into the bowl containing the tomato-pepper mixture
Put the drained black beans, fresh coriander, tamari, lime juice, chilli flakes, cumin and coriander into the blender or food processor and whizz to form a paste
Add to the bowl containing the chopped tomatoes, peppers and onions. Add the oats or gram flour, milled chia seeds and protein powder. Mix well together. Season well
Using your hands, form the mixture into 6 burger patties. Place patties on the baking sheet
Bake for 25 mins. Alternatively, you can pan-fry the burgers for 13-15 mins (flipping over half way through)
