Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers
Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers
We liked this burger recipe because it made it easy to create a vegetarian variety with sweet potato without the burgers falling apart. This recipe has you bake the burgers — made with black beans, sweet potatoes, and a handful of seasonings — before topping them with lime juice-coated avocado slices, tomato, onion, and coleslaw.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup black beans, drained
- 6 tablespoon breadscrumbs
- 3/4 cup peeled and cubed sweet potato, baked and mashed
- 3 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup diced white onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 jalapeño, diced and deseeded
- 5 whole-wheat burger buns
- 1/4 lime
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- coleslaw, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with a light layer of vegetable shortening or nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the black beans, breadcrumbs, mashed sweet potato, cilantro, and onion together in a food processor or large bowl. Season the bean mixture with garlic powder, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, and jalapeño.
- If using a food processor, pulse the bean mixture together until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed. If using a bowl, mash the bean mixture together with a potato-masher until well combined. Shape the black bean mixture into 5 patties of equal sizes with your hands. Roll the unbaked black bean burger patties in additional breadcrumbs if you like your burgers crispy.
- Place the burger patties into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Add the whole-wheat buns to the oven and bake 5 minutes more or until the burgers have cooked through.
- Squeeze the wedges of lime over the avocado slices. Line up all 5 toasted burger buns. Top each whole-wheat bun bottom with a slice of tomato, onion, bean burger, and coleslaw. Close each burger with the top bun and enjoy!
