Tahini Black Beans Fritters are scrumptious yet nutritious everyday snacks or breakfast. These are versatile enough to be consumed as patties over your choice of salad. These fritters taste amazing as sandwiches. However, I enjoy them as is with a vegan yogurt base dip.
My parents are visiting us this month. My mom especially is very fond of black beans. Therefore, I wanted to come up with a recipe including black beans. My idea of this recipe was to create something nutritious and yet light on stomach since the weather is so hot. Hence, we need something easy and quick and enjoyable at the same time. So, obviously, fritters are all time favorite for everyone and its quick too.
We all genuinely enjoyed Tahini Black Beans Fritters. It’s a make – ahead recipe so I made 3 batches of these fritters already and stored in the refrigerator. I make sandwiches out of these for my husband. I enjoy it as patties over my salad. These fritters especially taste amazing with a combination of red onions, cucumber, tomatoes, hummus and some vegan sour cream. My dad enjoyed these with lots of crushed chili flakes. My mom enjoyed with yogurt bade dip.
Tahini Black Beans Fritters are addicting too. Once you get the taste of these, it’s impossible to stop with just one fritter. No flour and nut free snack is surely winner for any season and any occasion.

How to make Tahini Black Beans Fritters
For this, I processed some drained black beans along with tahini. You may use store bought tahini or blend your own at home.
Then, I seasoned it with some herbs to enhance the flavors. A little trick to cook these fritters is that you need to wet your hands with water while making them into round shape. Otherwise the batter might stick to your hands and may not drop on the greased pan.
Thereafter, flip over the fritters gently and enjoy.

Notes
- Make sure to dip your hands in water for every fritter to avoid sticking in your hands. While dropping the fritters also wet they release better with wet hands.
- These taste amazing with Tajiki sauce as well.
- Use two spatulas to flip over or else the fritter might break. Once slightly cool the fritters will become firm.Â
