Sweet Potato Burgers

September 23, 2015 By Kris Kelly

Another vegan burger creation in the Goofy Foot Foods kitchen this week consisting of humble ingredients for an active life.  I absolutely love making vegan burgers as a back-up plan for those busy days when meal planning is not on the agenda.  Our Sweet Potato Burgers are easy-to-make and freeze nicely for up to month.  

Sweet Potato Burgers

Versatility:

Veggie burgers are an incredible source of plant protein.  They hold up nicely in just about any lunch box and can be eaten as a snack, salad topper, or with your favorite bun and toppings.  

When snacking on veggie burgers, simply cut into wedges and top with a slice of avocado and hemp seeds.  Quick, simple and delicious!

Note: I prefer the no-bun style of eating veggie burgers.  Simply wrap your burger in some sturdy greens (romaine, kale, collards), and add your favorite condiments and toppings.  This is a great choice for reducing calories and increasing nutrition.

Benefits of sweet potatoes:

Rich in fiber, high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and an excellent source of potassium, copper and manganese.

Lower on the glycemic index than white potatoes, making them a good choice for blood sugar imbalances.

Ingredients
  1. 4 cups peeled & diced sweet potatoes (approximately 4-5 sweets)
  2. 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  3. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  4. 1 cup cooked short-grain brown rice
  5. 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  6. 1 large carrot, finely shredded
  7. 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
  8. 1 cup oats, buzzed in coffee grinder to create meal
  9. 2 golden flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseeds : 5 tablespoons water)
  10. 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
  11. 1 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  12. 1 teaspoon sage, finely chopped
  13. 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  14. Fresh cracked pepper to taste
  15. Optional: 1 cup chopped kale
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over diced sweet potatoes. Toss to coat. Lay potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
  3. Prepare rice according to package directions.
  4. Using a food processor, combine roasted sweet potatoes, cooked brown rice. Pulse a few times in order to break down the potato.
  5. Note: Don't over-pulse this mixture. It only takes 5-6 pulses. The idea is to allow the mixture to come together without becoming mashed potatoes.
  6. Add hemp seeds, shredded carrot, onion, rosemary, sage, salt & pepper to the food processor. Pulse just to combine.
  7. Form burger mixture into patties. Lay patties out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  8. Place in hot oven for 15 minutes. Flip burgers over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
  9. Optional Note: I like my burgers to have a slight crunch on the outside, therefore, I typically lightly oil my iron skillet and place burgers in the skillet just before serving. This only takes 1-2 minutes on both sides.
Notes
  1. vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free
