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…
I’ve been talking about getting one of those Blackstone griddles, but we already have a grill and a large Traeger grill/smoker on our patio.
So I was concerned about space…and guys….my husband listened!!!
For my birthday he got me a flat top griddle insert for our grill!!!
Hibachi recipes and smash burgers will come soon of course, but for dinner the night he gave me this wonderful gift I was already planning on making these veggie burgers.
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 🙂
