Instructions
Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers
- Wash and peel your sweet potatoes and chop them into large cubes and steam for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, add in 1 tbsp. olive oil and sauté mushrooms and brown onion for 5 minutes.
- Drain and rinse your black beans and add them into a food processor along with the sautéed mushrooms and onions, green onion, cilantro, and spices. Pulse a few times until combined but still chunky. Don’t over process or you’ll end up with a bean dip (which also sounds delicious).
- In a large bowl, add in your black bean mixture, and gently mash in the steamed sweet potato chunks just enough for them to mix. Don’t over mash.
- Add in breads crumbs, Hemp Hearts and eggs and combine using a wooden spoon or the best tool in the kitchen- your hands.
- Once mixed, start forming palms sized, 1-inch thick veggie patties and place on a parchment-lined tray to set while you form the rest.
- Heat up a pan on low-medium heat with 2 tbsp. olive oil and cook burgers for 5-7 minutes per side with the lid on.
Sriracha Mayo Sauce
- In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and hot sauce until combined.
- Enjoy straight away on sandwiches, burgers, fries, etc.
- Can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days.
Notes
Notes:
Uncooked veggies patties can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container with parchment in between for 1-2 days until ready to cook.
Cooked veggies patties can be refrigerated in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
BBQ: If grilling on the BBQ you’ll want to slightly fry them on the stove top (1-2 min) to firm them up before cooking on the grill so they hold up better. Or you can just use some foil on the BBQ and cook them straight on there.
OVEN: Pre-heat oven to 350F and bake burgers for 20 min (flipping half way).
