Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams sweet potatoes (kumara), peeled and cubed
- 100 grams cooked quinoa
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 4 tablespoons your favorite burger sauce
Instructions
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes (kumara), then steam or boil them until soft, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well.
Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash them until smooth.
Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, diced red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, shaping them firmly with your hands.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Add the second tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a separate skillet or toaster oven.
Assemble the burgers by spreading your favorite sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, the sweet potato patty, a slice of tomato, avocado slices, and then the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with fries, a side salad, or on their own for a delicious meal.
