Ingredients:
* 1 can (15 oz) cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 can (15 oz) cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
* 1 medium onion, grated
* 1 large carrot, grated
* 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans, chickpeas, onion, and carrot until well combined. Add the bell pepper, cilantro, salt, black pepper, curry powder, and breadcrumbs, and mix well.
