Follow these easy steps to create your Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers:
1. Cook Sweet Potatoes: In a pot of boiling water, cook cubed sweet potatoes for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. Mash Black Beans: In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked sweet potatoes, quinoa, corn, breadcrumbs, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
4. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into burger-sized patties. You should get around 6-8 patties, depending on the size you prefer.
5. Heat Oil: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
6. Cook Burgers: Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.
7. Serve: Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before assembling.
