Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole burger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 1 small tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the cubes and roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, mashed the roasted sweet potatoes using a fork or potato masher.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, cooked quinoa, black beans, egg, breadcrumbs, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Toast the burger buns if desired.
To assemble each burger, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the lettuce, followed by the veggie patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and finally a tablespoon of ketchup before placing the top half of the bun.
Serve hot and enjoy your vegetarian classic breakfast burger!
