SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGER RECIPE

 

INGREDIENTS

•     2 medium sweet potatoes, steamed

•     15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

•     1 cup quick or rolled oats

•     1 jalapeño, minced and deseeded (optional)

•     1tsp ground cumin

•     ¼tsp freshly ground black pepper

•     ¼tsp salt

•     5 wholewheat buns, lightly toasted

•     8oz GoVerden mild guacamole

 

METHOD

•     Add the sweet potatoes, black beans, oats, jalapeño, cumin and black pepper to a food processor. Blitz until the mixture comes together (this usually takes about a minute).

•     Form into five patties with your hands. Approximately half a cup of the mixture should make one patty.

•     Heat a large skillet over a medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray and gently place the burgers on it. Cook for seven or eight minutes on one side, or until lightly toasted and browned.

•     Flip and cook for another three or four minutes on the other side.

•     To assemble the burgers, place each burger inside a bun and top with two or three tablespoons of guacamole, plus any additional toppings.
