Time 1h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
1 sweet potato, washed and pricked several times with a fork
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 egg
3 green onions (green parts only), minced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
24 slider-size burger buns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Bake sweet potato in the preheated oven until cooked through and soft in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Let potato cool completely.
  • Peel the potato and mash flesh in a large bowl with black beans. Mix egg, green onions, and garlic into the potato mixture. Add bread crumbs and mix until the mixture sticks together; season with jalapeno pepper, salt, and black pepper. Roll the mixture into 24 small balls and flatten into 2 1/2-inch patties.
  • Arrange patties onto prepared baking sheet. Brush each patty with olive oil.
  • Bake patties in preheated oven until browned on top, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn patties with a thin spatula, brush again with olive oil, and continue baking until slightly crisp along the edges, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve on buns.

The burgers fell apart a bit when I was cooking them. I think I needed to add more bread crumbs.

These burgers were a little too spicy for me. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.
