Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled and diced sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with half a tablespoon of coconut oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender, then let cool slightly.
In a skillet, heat the remaining half tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, egg, almond flour, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 burger patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve the burgers on your choice of Paleo-friendly buns or lettuce wraps, with your favorite Paleo toppings.
