- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder - (optional)

- Rinse and drain black beans. Add ground flaxseed and mash half the black beans with a fork, making sure to incorporate the ground flaxseed into the mash.
- Let the ground flaxseed and mashed beans sit together while you grate the zucchini. You can use your food processor attachment or grate by hand.

- Add the zucchini to the black bean and ground flax mixture. Add the spices and stir well, to fully incorporate the zucchini and spices.
- Form into equal-sized sliders.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick or add about 1 tsp. avocado oil and brush it out to cover the surface.
