US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Bake sweet potato until soft and allow to cool before peeling.
  • Put peeled potato in a large mixing bowl and add beans and beaten egg and mash together.
  • Mix in the flour, cumin, cayenne, green onion and salt.
  • Form 4 large or 6 smaller patties. (Your preference.) Make sure that they are equal in size and evenly shaped to ensure even cooking.
  • Heat 1 tbsp safflower oil in a pan over high heat.*
  • Coat the patties individually in panko and cook until browned on both sides, (about 4-5 minutes on the first side, 3-4 minutes on the second side).
  • Let the cooked patties cool and serve with mustard, avocado, cheese, whatever you like!

Notes

*You can cook the burgers on the grill in summer. Just make sure it is well oiled as they tend to stick.
