Ingredients
- 3 cans black beans 15 ounces each, drained and mashed
- 3 teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning store-bought or homemade (see Homemade Seasoning below)
- ¾ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 box frozen puff pastry 2 sheets, thawed
- plant milk or oil Optional, for brushing tops
Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Homemade)
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed black beans, jerk seasoning (or all seasoning ingredients if making from scratch), and breadcrumbs. Stir until evenly combined.
- Unfold each puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles (8 total). Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons bean mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border. Fold pastry over filling to form a rectangle or a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal.
- Place patties on prepared sheet. Brush tops lightly with plant milk or oil. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking.
- Serve warm on buns, in wraps, or over salad greens.
Notes
- For extra crunch, pan-fry baked patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Optional — does not affect cooking time listed.
- Substitute taco seasoning for a milder, Tex-Mex profile.
- Keep puff pastry cold during assembly for best flakiness.
