Sweet Potato Avocado Burger

Ingredients for Sweet Potato Avocado Burger

• 900g sweet potatoes

• 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine d'oliva

• 1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder

• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce

• 45ml Worcestershire sauce (omit for vegan)

• 1/4 yellow onion, roughly chopped

• 240ml chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained

• 110g organic rolled oats

• 70g raw walnuts, crushed

• 180ml flaxseed meal

• 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil

• Whole-wheat or gluten-free buns

• 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced (2 to 3 slices per burger)

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (per burger

• omit for vegan)

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

• 1 to 2 torn lacinato kale leaves per burger

• Senape di Digione

• Olive oil mayonnaise (omit for vegan)

Wash and pat your sweet potatoes dry. Cut the sweet potatoes into small 1-inch cubes. Roast the sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Place onto a sheet tray and roast at 191°C for approximately 40 minutes, remove from the oven, and cool slightly.

In a food processor, add the roasted/cooked sweet potato, tamari soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce; pulse to combine. Add the onion and chickpeas and pulse until fully combined, periodically stopping the food processor and using a spatula or wooden spoon to move the mixture around. Mix just until the chickpeas and onion are fully incorporated; look for the consistency of mashed potatoes. Do not overmix.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal.

Remove the sweet potato mixture from the food processor and fold into the dry ingredients. Measure out 80ml the mixture at a time and, using your hands, form into round burger-shaped patties.

In a medium sauté pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the patties and sauté for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are warmed through and golden brown on each side.

To serve, place the patties on toasted buns, if desired, and add your choice of toppings. I love avocado, kale, and Worcestershire sauce.
