Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers
Usually I make this easy vegetarian recipe for Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers either in a skillet or in my air fryer, but not this time… this time it’s on my Blackstone griddle!
How to make Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers
These burgers are super healthy, and really yummy too!
Add a can of black beans, a cooked sweet potato, chopped spinach, bread crumbs to a bowl.
Oh, and olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Mash this with a fork to desired consistency and then form into burger patties.
Refrigerate these for about an hour to prevent them from falling apart while they cook.
Then into a skillet (or in this case flat top grill) with some oil.
Everything is already cooked in these burgers, so just a few minutes per side to warm them and sear them.
How you choose to eat your Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers is up to you.
On a bun, by themselves, or even as a lettuce wrap are all good options.
We served ours on brioche buns and with some cilantro and a mixture of Sriracha and mayo.
The texture is a lot softer compared to a traditional burger, but the flavor is extra special 🙂
