Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Burger buns and toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with a little olive oil and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender.
  2. Mash the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans together using a fork or potato masher. Leave some beans intact for texture.
  3. Mix the Mixture: Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
  4. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  5. Cook the Patties: Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked patties on toasted buns and top with your favorite toppings. Serve warm.
