Ingredients
- 1 lb. sweet potatoes peeled, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup quinoa rinsed and drained
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1 ½ tsp. cumin
- ¾ tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 15 oz. black beans canned, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup oats quick or old-fashioned, gluten-free
- ½ cup sweet onion finely diced
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- hamburger buns gluten-free*
- Avocado or guacamole optional
- tomato thinly sliced, optional
- onion thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot combine sweet potatoes, quinoa, and vegetable broth. Cover pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 22-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
- In a small bowl combine cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Pulse oats in a high speed blender 3-4 times to make a coarse oat flour.
- Once sweet potatoes and quinoa are done cooking, add them to a large bowl with black beans, coarse oat flour, onion, cilantro, and seasoning mix. Mix until well combined. (You may have to use your hands for this!)
- Divide burger mixture into 8 equal portions. Form each portion into a round disc about 1 inch thick.
Stove top:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place burger patties in a single layer. (You may have to cook these in 2 batches depending on the size of your skillet.)
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side.
In the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat each patty with 1 teaspoon olive oil and place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake patties in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve sweet potato black bean burgers on gluten-free hamburger buns with avocado, tomato, and onion and enjoy!
Grill:
- Heat grill to medium heat. Let fully heat for at least 10 minutes.
- Spritz a bit of non-stick cooking spray on the grill before adding patties.
- Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional information is for 1 patty without the bun.
- Udi's hamburger buns taste great and can be found in most grocery stores! (That's what I used in this recipe.)
- Schar's gluten-free buns have a really great texture, too.
- To Prep-Ahead: Make the patties completely and store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
- To Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To Freeze: Place patties in a freezer-safe container with a piece of wax paper between each one. Freeze for up to 6 months.
- To Reheat: When ready to reheat, add a bit of oil to a skillet and cook for a few minutes per side until heated through. You can also add them to a 300° oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse quinoa. This gets rid of the bitter saponins.
- Make your own oat flour. Pulse oats a few times in a blender. This is a much healthier binder than bread crumbs!
- Mush it together. If you're worried about them falling apart, smash the burgers together before forming into patties.
- Get a good crusty sear. When cooking on the grill or skillet, wait to flip the patties until you have a nice crusty sear. This also helps to ensure the burger doesn't fall apart.
- Freeze and save for later. This recipe makes enough for 8 patties. Freeze them and pull out later when you're craving a burger.
