3 Ingredient Veggie Burgers

9/21/2012

This burger is easy to make, healthy and very satisfying.  I make it at least once a week and we never get tired of it. There are just so many ways to dress it up or adjust the flavor - the possibilities are practically endless.

Yields:  2 Burgers (125 calories per burger)

1 small sweet potato
1 C. cooked black beans
1 Tbsp. ground flax seeds (optional)

  1. Cut the sweet potato into 1-2 inch cubes and place in food processor.  Pulse until the sweet potato is in very small pieces (the size of peas or smaller).  Empty the contents into a mixing bowl.
  2. Rinse and drain the black beans then place them into your food processor (no need to clean it after the sweet potato) and pulse until a paste forms.  It's okay if there are black beans remaining, but majority should be a paste.  Empty the black beans into the bowl containing the sweet potato.
  3. Stir in the ground flax seeds and any seasoning that you want to include.  I usually add a Tbsp. of Mama Garlic.  Mix until all ingredients are combined evenly.
  4. Form into two patties.
  5. Lightly coat a stove top skillet with olive oil or coconut oil, then turn the heat to medium.
  6. Cook the patties for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the outsides are browned and the insides are thoroughly heated.

I like to serve mine on one piece of Ezekiel Bread with a slice of swiss cheese, salsa, peppers and avocado on top. Or on top of a salad.   


How would you serve it?  Maybe with a side of Homemade Kale Chips or Baked Sweet Potato Fries?

Enjoy!

Chop the sweet potato into smaller pieces before putting in the food processor.

Process the sweet potato into pieces no bigger than a pea.

Blend the black beans into a paste. It's okay if there are still whole pieces of black bean in the mix too.
