Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burgers

Simple Ingredients | Healthy and Delicious

Every now and then, I need a big burger in my life... I love going out to get them at some of the amazing vegan restaurants in my area, but a healthy vegetable based burger is necessary every now and then!

Plus, it was easy, and everything I didn’t eat with Denver for dinner was saved for lunch the next day. Meal prep!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup chopped & boiled sweet potato 

1 can of black beans, rinsed

Spices to taste: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ginger and cloves. 

1/4 cup nutritional yeas

1/4 cup pearl or diced onion

1/4 cup rolled oats

2 tbsp ground flax seeds (or chia seeds)

 A sweet potato this size is about 1 3/4 cups diced

Boil until fork tender 

Drain and rinse

Add in spices to taste, and whatever spices you like. I find that cloves and ginger compliment sweet potato very well. 

Nutritional yeast adds an amazing nutty/cheesy flavour

Oats act to give the burgers more shape, volume, and texture. You can grind them into a flour if you don’t want the texture of the whole oats. 

Flax seeds are super healthy, and act as a binding agent in these burgers. 

Form them into patties or falafel-ish things. I just didn’t want to say balls :/ 

Bake for about 25 minutes at 400 degrees F. 

This will make 4 rather large burgers, or about 20 falafel. 

Top with any veggies you’d like! I made this a double decker with Thai sweet chilli hummus, chao pepperjack cheese, spinach, and guacamole. On an onion bagel! I love burgers on bagels. :)
