A delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers, these sweet potato and black bean burgers are packed with flavor and nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
  3. Add the mashed sweet potato, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the burgers are firm and lightly browned.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp the outside.
  7. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or rolled oats.
  • You can grill these burgers instead of baking and pan-frying.
  • The patties can be frozen before or after cooking for easy meal prep.
