Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (from one medium sweet potato, see note #1)
1 and 1/2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed (equivalent to one 15 ounce can)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for coating sweet potato)
1 cup diced white onion (from one medium onion)
1/2 medium red bell pepper (diced)
1/2 teaspoon salt (divided in half)
1 small jalapeño (diced (optional)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon dry parsley
1 large egg (whisked)
1 cup plain bread crumbs
5 burger buns
lettuce and barbecue sauce (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat whole sweet potato in olive oil (optional). Poke several holes in the sweet potato using a knife. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender, about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of your sweet potato.
  • Remove skin from the sweet potato. Mash the inside until almost pureed. Measure out 1/2 cup of the mashed sweet potato. Before adding black beans, pat them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Combine the sweet potato and black beans and mash a little more. You want some whole beans to remain for texture. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add diced onion, diced bell pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt . Sauté until softened, about 6 minutes. Add jalapeño and garlic and sauté a minute more, until golden and aromatic.
  • Stir the sautéed ingredients into the sweet potato mixture. Add the seasonings (cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, chipotle chili powder, parsley), whisked egg and bread crumbs. Mix until a loose ball forms.
  • Form the mixture into patties. I like to make mine about the width of my palm. For best results, make sure the burger is no more than 1/2 inch thick when cooking. The thinner the patty, the firmer it will be.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat (I use the same skillet I sautéed the onions in for extra flavor). Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Once hot, add patties. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned.
  • Serve on burger buns with for favorite fixings, such as lettuce or kale and barbecue sauce. Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO-BLACK BEAN BURGERS



Sweet Potato-Black Bean Burgers image

These vegan sweet potato-black bean burgers spiced with curry powder are easy to make. Blending the mixture with your hands gives you a soft, uniform texture then the outside gets crispy by cooking in a cast-iron pan. To make this recipe gluten-free too, use gluten-free oats and serve the patty in a lettuce wrap, omitting the bun.

SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN BURGERS



Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burgers image

Sometimes a good vegetarian burger can be better than any beef burger. I think this one I made is pretty flavorful, and it's also fairly healthy. The leftovers freeze OK, but the patties are best reheated in an oven instead of a microwave.

Tips:

  • Soak the black beans overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly and will also make them more digestible.
  • Use a food processor to chop the vegetables. This will help you to get them very finely chopped, which will make for a more cohesive burger.
  • Don't overmix the burger mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Use cooking spray or oil to grease the skillet. This will help to prevent the burgers from sticking.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the burgers only once. Flipping them too often can make them dry.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to stay juicy.

These Black Bean Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they are also low in fat and calories. The sweet potato fries are a great way to add a healthy dose of vegetables to your meal.
