Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 medium (about 8 oz) sweet potato
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the sweet potato with a fork a few times and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until soft. Once cooled, remove the skin and mash the flesh in a bowl.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash the beans, leaving some texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed black beans, mashed sweet potato, oats, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a burger patty.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Toast the hamburger buns in the oven or on a griddle, if desired.
Assemble the veggie burgers by placing a patty on each bun and adding your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or sauces.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Va Voom Veggie Burgers!
