Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • potato masher or fork

Ingredients

Burgers

  • 1 medium sweet potato baked and peeled
  • 16 oz. cooked white beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup white onion chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoon tahini
  • ¾ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ - 1 tap chipotle powder or cajun spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • cup nutritional yeast or any flour as a sub
  • ½ cup leafy greens kale, spinach, parsley, finely chopped

Toppings

  • 1 avocado tomato, vegenaise, burger buns, greens
  • vegan mayo
  • lettuce, tomato, onion, any other toppings you'd like

Other

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for pan
  • ½ cup Panko bread crumbs for crispy coating optional

Instructions

  • Bake your sweet potato in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. If in a hurry, you could use the microwave, but oven-baked yields more flavor.
  • Drain and rinse beans. Rinse in very hot water to help soften them a bit.
  • Add the sweet potato and beans to a large mixing bowl. Add the tahini and vinegar. Using a large fork, mash well. Fold in
    the onion, garlic, chipotle, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast/flour and greens - and continue mashing.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pan-fry: Form burger mixture into large patties and roll in the Panko breadcrumbs. Warm a skillet over high heat. Add
    oil to pan. Cook patties 2-3 at a time. Pan fry each side for about two minutes, until crispy and lightly browned. Transfer
    the pan-fried patties to a parchment-sheet lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the patties are pan-fried. (6-8 patties)
  • Bake patties in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Toast burger buns. Add toppings and patties. Serve!
