Sweet Potato Quinoa Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, baked
• 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
• ½ tsp. cumin
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. coarse black pepper
• ¼ tsp. paprika
• 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 2 cups cooked quinoa, divided
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1–2 Tbsp. olive oil
• burger buns
• Assorted toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, bbq sauce, mayo

Instructions

1. Peel the baked sweet potatoes. Add the flesh to the bowl of a food processor. Blend with the parsley, cumin, salt, pepper and paprika.
2. Mix in the oat flour, 1 and ½ cups quinoa and black beans with a spatula.
3. Scoop the mixture with a ½ measuring cup and use hands to form patties, patting each side with some of the remaining quinoa to help the patties hold their shape.
4. Once patties are formed, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a medium sized saute pan and heat on medium-low heat.
5. When the oil is hot, cook the patties 2 at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until both sides are crispy. Remove from heat and cover with foil to keep warm while cooking remaining patties in remaining oil.
6. Add the patties to your burger bun and top with your favorite toppings.
