Description

These sweet potato black bean burgers rely on oats for binding and are flavored with Dijon mustard, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and fresh ginger.

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
1 cooking spray
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2 Poke sweet potato with a fork several times; place on the prepared baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potato can be easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
4 Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
5 Peel sweet potato; place into a large bowl. Add black beans; mash with a whisk or fork. Add oats, onions, Dijon mustard, cumin, ginger, salt, and cinnamon; mix until well combined. Shape mixture into 6 patties with wet hands; place onto the prepared baking sheet.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until cooked in the center and crisp on the outside, about 8 minutes per side.
