Sweet Potato-Black Bean Burgers

Dinner

Ingredients

Approximate Prep Time:
20
  • 2 cups grated sweet potato
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon no-salt-added tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber

Directions

Step 1

  • Squeeze grated sweet potato with paper towels to remove excess moisture; place in a large bowl. Pulse oats in a food processor until finely ground; add to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Add beans, scallions, mayonnaise, tomato paste, curry powder and salt to the bowl; mash the mixture together with your hands. Shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place the patties on a plate; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

  • Stir yogurt, dill and lemon juice together in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 3

  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 4

  • Divide the yogurt sauce evenly among top and bottom bun halves. Top each bottom bun half with a burger and cucumber slices; replace top bun halves.
