- 1 large sweet potato, baked & mashed (about 2 cups) large sweet potato, baked & mashed
- 1 tbsp garam masala or tikka masala
- 1/4 cup thinly shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- lemon juice
- salt
- red chili powder or cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Mash the sweet potato and cannellini beans, then mix them together.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including all spices, flour, and breadcrumbs, and combine to make a smooth mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Divide the sweet potato mixture into 6 parts.
- Grease your palms with oil if needed, and shape the mixture into thick burger patties.
- Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes, or until ready to grill.
- Before grilling, roll the patties in breadcrumbs if needed, and place them directly on the grill.
- Alternatively, sauté the patties in oil in a pan over the stove until golden brown and cooked on both sides.
- To serve, place the patty on a bun, top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and fresh avocado.
- Sprinkle with spicy chutney, chipotle sauce, or horseradish sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, roast the sweet potato instead of baking it.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs or flour, one tablespoon at a time.
- These burgers freeze well; wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
