Savoury Spiced Sweet Potato Chickpea Burger

So, it’s pretty much been a burger bonanza around these parts since I bought an entire bag of hamburger buns that needed to be gobbled up. So, after I made the vegan mushroom burger, I got to thinking about what other sort of vegan burger I could create (since–let’s face the truth, here–black bean patties are the little black dresses of vegetarian burger options: the first thing to come to mind, everyone’s favourite, and just a touch overdone). So here’s the delicious recipe for Savory Spiced Sweet Potato Chickpea Burger I made.

Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• 2 medium sweet potatoes baked and skinless
• 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
• ½ cup oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 handful portobello mushrooms sliced
• ¼ cup red onion sliced in rings
• 1 pad vegan butter

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and caramelize the onions and mushrooms in a sauté pan on low heat with the vegan butter.
• Mix up the chickpeas and sweet potato in a food processor.
• Combine the mash with olive oil and spices in a mixing bowl.
• Add the oatmeal (this is important to bind your burger, so it doesn’t fall apart, don’t deem this step irrelevant and skip it, or you’ll have a sad mashed potato on a bun).
• Place a foil lining on a baking sheet and coat with a light layer of non-stick cooking spray.
• Mould the sweet potato and chickpea mash into patties and place them evenly spaced on the baking pan.
• Bake the veggie burgers for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for 10 minutes.
