Vegan Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers

Vegan Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers – The Ultimate Veggie Burger!

These Vegan Black Bean and Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers will not disappoint. They measure up in a number of ways making them way more appealing than their carnivorous competitors.

1. They’re bold, satisfying and hearty.
2. Low in fat and high in fiber they’re heart healthy.
3. We’ve all had flimsy veggie burgers that have fallen apart in the pan, on the grill or in the burger bun. These are deliciously sturdy and won’t let you down.
4. Plenty of protein is provided from the black beans.
5. The flavors are irresistibly bold.
6. They can be pan fried, baked (my favorite) or grilled.
7. They also freeze really well for later use.

How do I make Vegan Black Bean Sweet Potato Burgers?

There are a few steps but they’re all very simple.

1. In a large pan saute the onion, celery, garlic and red pepper. Add the seasonings, chopped greens and corn. Cook until everything is nice and tender.  Remove to a large bowl.

2. Add the drained rinsed beans.

3. Then the COOKED sweet potatoes. If I don’t have some leftover sweet potatoes in the fridge I steam a couple on the stove top especially for this dish.

4. It’s really important to add plenty of wonderful flavor, especially when you’re cooking without oil.

• If you want to give yourself a lovely treat try this fabulous Balsamic Vinegar.
• I love to use a good quality Cumin
• Harissa Spice and
• Herbes de Provence
• Lime zest and juice go beautifully with black beans and sweet potatoes
• Dijon mustard – always adds a smooth depth of flavor

5. Pour in the oat flour and mix everything together. Shape into patties and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight if you prefer.

6. Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes on each side or if you prefer, fry or grill them.  Serve on a lightly toasted wholewheat burger bun with all the fixings.
