    Ingredients

    • 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    • 4 oz. baby bella mushrooms, trimmed and finely chopped (about 2 c.)
    • 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
    • 1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
    • 2 tbsp. white miso
    • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
    • 3 tbsp. tahini, divided
    • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
    • Olive oil cooking spray
    • 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill
    • 2 tbsp. (or more) water
    • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
    • Sliced cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, for serving

      Instructions

      1. In a large bowl, mash beans, mushrooms, onion, panko, miso, garlic powder, paprika, 1 tablespoon tahini, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined and mixture clumps together. Form bean mixture into 8 patties about 2 1/2″ in diameter.
      2. Lightly coat an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, arrange patties in basket, spacing about 1/4″ apart; generously spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400°, flipping halfway through, until crispy and browned on both sides, about 15 minutes.
      3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk dill, water, vinegar, and remaining 2 tablespoons tahini and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth and drizzleable. If dressing is too thick, whisk in more water until desired consistency is reached.
      4. Drizzle fritters with tahini dressing. Top with tomatoes and cucumbers.
