Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Mash black beans in a bowl. Add carrots, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; mix well.

Whisk chile-garlic sauce, cornstarch, water, chili powder, cumin, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a separate small bowl.

Stir chile-garlic sauce mixture into black bean mixture; mix in bread crumbs. Stir flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into bean mixture until a sticky batter forms.

Spoon mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about a 3/4-inch thickness per mound; shape into burgers.

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked in the center and crisp on the outside, about 10 minutes per side.
