Recipe Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger

These Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers are loaded with fiber, protein, and spice thanks to oats, quinoa, and a savory spice blend. The ultimate high-protein, gluten-free and vegan dinner or lunch!

Whether it's Cheezy Broccoli Quinoa Burgers or juicy Herbed Turkey Burgers with Zucchini Buns, I love piling flavorful burger patties high with toppings and savory sauces.

These sweet potato black bean burgers are what I always reach for when I want a vegan dinner that has the heft of something made with meat. They're loaded with good-for-you ingredients like rolled oats, quinoa and beans to pack in plenty of fiber, protein and flavor.

Once you have the dough combined, we'll bake them in the oven for a hands-off cooking process. If you want to sear them you totally can, but I like the mess-free version of baking.

While the burgers are baking, can blend up your favorite sauce (definitely try our chili lime tahini sauce!) and prepare your toppings.

You'll notice that this ingredient list is clean and straightforward. I like to stay away from added fillers and starches in my burgers, so the flavors shine through and they're as healthy as possible.

Plus, grating the potatoes help reduce the amount of the dry ingredients you need, so we only ended up using ½ cup of oats and ½ cup of quinoa.

In a food processor, blend the oats on high to make a coarse oat flour. Remove the oats from the food processor to a mixing bowl.

Next, peel and roughly chop the sweet potato. Grate it with the shredding disc of your food processor. Then remove the potato to the mixing bowl with the oats. You'll need two cups of shredded sweet potato.

Make a flax egg by combining the flaxseed meal and water. Set this aside to gel. Add the beans, onion, garlic, and lime juice and zest to the empty food processor. Pulse until the ingredients come together in a dough.

Shape the burgers into 6 equal patties and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the burgers for half an hour while you preheat the oven.

Bake the black bean burgers for 20 minutes, then flip and cook them for another 15 to 20 minutes, until they're crispy on all sides. Cool the burger for 5 to 10 minutes out of the oven before serving them on buns with your favorite toppings.

Stellar Quinoa Burger Recipe

–  Prepare quinoa according to package instructions (I cook 1 heaping cup with a scant 2 cups of water in my rice cooker).

– Preheat oven to 400 degrees, pierce sweet potatoes with fork and bake for 45 minutes or until soft. Remove skins, mash with a fork to remove all chunks and place in large mixing bowl.

– In a sauté pan combine onions, olive oil, a hearty pinch of sea salt and cook over medium-low heat until onions are translucent.  Add garlic and cook an additional minute, stirring continually to prevent the garlic from burning.  Add thyme at the very end and mix well.

–   Add onions, quinoa, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste), a bit of fresh cracked pepper to large mixing bowl with sweet potatoes and stir until well combined.

–  Form mixture into golf ball size ball, flatten into a patty, and cook in earth balance vegan butter on a non stick pan for approximately 2 minutes on each side (you want them to brown up and crisp!).  Repeat to make as many as you’d like.  Enjoy with a generous sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves and some finishing salt!  Save any leftovers in the refridgerator to make later.I have a family of picky eaters.  They are not only picky but VERY suspicious of new things.  I made these burgers a few months ago and they all liked them.  Recently I made them again.  Normally I’m pretty much left alone in the kitchen but this last time everyone was around and when I got out the standard orange sweet potatoes I got “the look” from each of them.  You know the “the look”.  It’s the I-don’t-eat-weird-colored-foods-and-even-if-it-tastes-good-I’m-going-to-pretend-I-don’t-like-it look.  And of course once dinner was prepared everyone complained that they didn’t like the burgers.  My husband even commented that I should just use regular potatoes instead of the yucky sweet potatoes.

Did you know that sweet potatoes come in 2 different varieties.  The white sweet potato looks just like it’s orange counterparts on the outside but inside it looks like a regular white potato.  Aside from the lack of beta carotene, the white sweet potato is pretty much identical to the orange variety.  Anyone see where I’m going with this?

Sweet Potato Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Last week I again made these sweet potato quinoa burgers.  I made sure everyone was around when I got out the sweet potato and mashed it up.  My husband even came up and gave me a kiss as I was cooking and thanked me for using ‘regular potatoes’.  I just smiled.

Sweet Potato And Quinoa Burgers With Red Onion And Blue Cheese

You can pan fry these burgers if you wish.  I think they taste like hash browns this way!  Heat a pan to medium heat and add a tbsp or so of oil.  Cook on each side for about 5 minutes each or until golden brown.

To grill the burgers, bake in the oven for 10 minutes on each side.  Remove the burger from the oven and place on a preheated grill (make sure to grease your grill properly).  Grill each side for about 3 minutes.I’m just going to cut to the chase: if you’re not smothering your burger with Rojo’s Queso Blanco Dip With Green Chile, you’re not really living. Or maybe you like boring burgers. Or maybe you haven’t thought about it! But now that it’s in your head…

I was initially going to kick this post off with a “leftovers” angle. You know, “Not sure what to do with that leftover dip after your party this weekend? Slather it onto a burger!”

Anything leftover. This dip is just too tasty and easy to mow down! But I do encourage you to buy some for the sake of using it as a condiment sometime.

Veggie burgers have a bad rap. Even at restaurants, where we assume they’ve got it all figured out, we encounter plant-based patties that crumble away from our faces after that first hungry bite.

But not this burger. Sweet potato, quinoa, and black beans keep it together without the use of eggs or bread crumbs, and it. is.
