Black Bean & Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the sweet potato in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, until cooked. Remove the skin from the sweet potato and transfer the flesh to a large bowl.

Step 3

To the bowl, add the red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, black beans, corn, tamari, salt, cajun, paprika, chili powder and black pepper and mash all the ingredients together using a masher until just a few beans remain whole. *you can also do this in a food processor, see blog post above for instructions*

Step 4

Add the rolled oats to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Scoop out about 1/2 cup of the mixture and using your hands form it into a round patty. Place the veggie burgers on the tray and bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 15 minutes (be careful when flipping as they will be delicate).

Step 6

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for about 10 minutes so they firm up.

Step 7

Place on a toasted burger bun and top with desired toppings. Enjoy!
