Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water.
- In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Set aside to cool.
- Peel and chop 2 cups of sweet potatoes into small cubes.
- Steam or boil the sweet potato cubes until they are soft and easily mashable (around 10-15 minutes).
- Drain if boiled and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Finely chop 1/2 red onion and 1 tbsp coriander leaves.
- Mince 1 garlic clove.
- In the large bowl with the mashed black beans, add the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked brown rice (make sure it’s cooled), finely chopped red onion, coriander leaves, and minced garlic.
- Add 1 cup of multi-grain oatmeal.
- Add 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the mixture.
- Mix everything until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add a bit more oatmeal to help bind it.
- With clean hands, divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Depending on the desired size, this recipe should make around 6-8 patties.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the sweet potato veggie burger patties on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments, or enjoy them as is with a side salad!
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the brown rice ahead of time so it has enough time to cool down before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Mash the black beans with a fork or a potato masher until you achieve a chunky consistency; this will help bind the patties while providing a nice texture.
- Roast or microwave the sweet potatoes until they are soft enough to mash easily.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more oatmeal until the desired consistency is reached.
- Chill the patties in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes before cooking them. This will help them hold their shape better while frying or baking.
- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning the exterior.
- Pair your sweet potato veggie burger patties with a refreshing salad, avocado, or your favorite burger toppings for an extra burst of flavor.
