Sweet Potato Adzuki Bean Burger Gameday Sliders with Spinach, Cucumber, Dill Aioli. Vegan Recipe
Description
These Sweet Potato Adzuki Bean Burgers blend mashed sweet potato with cooked adzuki beans, seasoned with salt, berbere spice or alternate spice blends, chili flakes, onion flakes, and nutritional yeast for a savory depth. Flour and bread crumbs provide structure, making a mixture that firms after chilling. After shaping into patties and coating with bread crumbs, they bake until crisp and golden on the outside but tender inside.
The sliders are assembled on multigrain buns layered with baby spinach leaves, cucumber slices, and fresh dill, topped off with a dill jalapeno aioli to add creamy, herbaceous, and mildly spicy notes. This combination balances the earthy burger with cool, fresh vegetables and bright sauce.
These sliders work well as vegan handheld appetizers or light meals, perfect for serving at gatherings or game days where finger foods are favored.
The recipe notes provide nutritional values per serving, indicating attention to dietary considerations. Chilling the patty mixture helps reduce stickiness, making shaping easier.

- Add the rest of the ingredients except 1/4 cup bread crumbs. Mix, mash, mix.
- Taste and adjust salt if needed. Chill for 15 minutes so the mixture gets less sticky.
- Make patties and coat in bread crumbs. I made 3 inch wide and 1/2-3/4 inch thick patties. The mixture might be sticky. Use flour or oil on hands to work. Once baked, the patties are quite sturdy.
- (Use gf bread crumbs or coarsely ground Oats for glutenfree)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 375 degrees F / 190ºc, until golden and dry on the outside.
- Toast the buns/rolls lightly(optional)
- Arrange Spinach on the buns, Top with a burger patty, Cucumbers, Dill Aioli, Fresh Dill and the top half of the bun.
Notes
- Chill the burger mixture for 15 minutes before shaping to reduce stickiness and improve handling.
- Use gluten-free bread crumbs or coarsely ground oats to adapt sliders for gluten-free diets.
- Adjust salt and spices after mixing for preferred flavor intensity.
