Ingredients

• Sweet potato - 200 grams
• Black beans - 100 grams, drained and rinsed
• Quinoa - 50 grams, cooked
• Chipotle in adobo sauce - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ground flaxseed - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 3 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes, then toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
3. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato, black beans, cooked quinoa, chipotle in adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and ground flaxseed mixed with water. Mash the mixture gently with a fork until well combined but still chunky.
4. Form the mixture into two patties, ensuring they hold together well.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
6. Toast the whole wheat burger buns in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing each sweet potato patty on a bun and topping with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
