Sweet Potato Bean Burgers
- 2 sweet potatoes medium, peeled and baked
- 240 grams butter beans cooked white, rinsed and drained if canned
- 1/2 cup white onion chopped in tiny chunks
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 foot egg 'chia, '', 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds + 1 to 2 tablespoons filtered water, let soak for 5 minutes
- 1 lime or 3/4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 handful fresh coriander cilantro or parsley
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flour works well such as buckwheat flour or oatmeal flour
- 1 cup greens finely chopped, such as spinach, parsley
- avocado
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Bake the sweet potatoes in a 170 degrees oven until tender. If you are in a rush you can also cook them, but they will be less flavorful.
- Add the sweet potatoes and beans to a large bowl. Use a fork to mash all well. Add the onion and keep mashing. Add all the remaining ingredients and mash more.
- Heat oven to 170 degrees (if you haven't done already for the sweet potatoes).
- Heat a skillet over high heat and add the coconut oil.
- Form with your hands from the batter burgers in the size you wish and place on the hot skillet. Saute 2-3 minutes on each side, just to brown them. Repeat with all the mixture.
- Place the burgers now on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through. You can pop the burgers right in the oven, but if you saute them first it will create a crispy flavorful edge.
- Serve the burgers with any topping/sauce you wish. You could use crispy lettuce, mustard, vegan mayonnaise, anything that you like! Serve warm!
