With summer right around the corner, barbecue parties are quickly approaching. Unlike most people, I am not a fan of right meat. However, veggie burgers never seem to hit the spot either. So, after hours of searching for the perfect burger replacement, I finally caught my eye on something.
Sweet potato burgers! Now, some of you are probably reading this and thinking that I'm crazy, but these are a must have! And not only do they taste good, but they look amazing too.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peeled and diced sweet potatoes
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 [1/2] cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- [1/2] teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- [1/2] teaspoon sweet paprika
- [1/2] teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 burger buns, sliced and toasted
- Assorted toppings such as red onions, roasted red bell peppers, micro greens, Dijon mustard, lettuce, sun dried tomatoes and caramelized onions.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until fork tender, 5-7 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cannellini beans, bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, pepper, paprika and oregano. Pulse for 1 minute until everything is full incorporated and smooth.
- Remove the sweet potato mixture from the food processor and divide it into four equal 4-ounce portions. Form each portion into a patty to fit your preferred burger bun.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sweet potato patties to the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer each patty to a burger bun bottom.
- Add additional toppings as desired and top with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
