- 1.5 cups black beans (cooked and drained)
- 1 cup quinoa (cooked)
- 0.5 cup sweet potato (mashed, roasted or steamed)
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the cooked quinoa, mashed sweet potato, panko breadcrumbs, diced red onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or your hands until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are firm and slightly crisp on the outside.
While the patties are baking, prepare your preferred burger toppings and lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and adding your desired toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Woodward Veggie Burger!
