I had such high hopes for this recipe, especially after reading all of the comments saying how amazing it was, but it was only okay. It seemed to be a little bland, which is disappointing since we added a lot of different spices that the recipe didn't call for, as well as a lot of toppings. We didn't "deep fry" them like the recipe calls for, so maybe that would make a difference. Izzy will be enjoying the leftovers since it is all foods she enjoys. I don't know if I'd make them again, unless I came up with a really good spice/herb mix to make it more flavorful. I added basil and we served it with avocado and Dijon mustard. If you try it and find it tasty, please share with me what you did differently. I was bummed, as we love sweet potatoes.
Sweet Potato Veggie Burgersmakes 7-8 large patties
2 cans cannellini white beans, drained
1 large sweet potato, baked/peeled/mashed (about 2 cups)
2 Tbsp tahini
2 tsp maple or agave syrup
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning OR Cajun seasoning (or another fave spice!)
1/4 cup wheat flour
optional: additional seasoning (whatever you have on hand - I used a few dashes cayenne, black pepper and a scoop of nutritional yeast)
salt to taste if needed
plentiful Panko crumbs
safflower oil for pan
burgers: avocado, Dijon mustard, grain buns, romaine, onion, olive oil, pepper
Directions:
1. Bake sweet potato. Peel, place in large mixing bowl.
2. Add drained beans to mixing bowl. Mash beans and potato together.
3. Mash in seasoning, flour and any additional seasoning. Your mixture will be quite soft and moist. But you should be able to form a patty. Add more flour or a scoop of breadcrumbs - or dry rice to thicken the mixture if needed.
4. Heat 1 Tbsp safflower oil in a pan over high heat.
5. Form a patty from mixture and coat in Panko crumbs. Thick coating. Then drop the patty in the pan. Repeat until the pan is filled. Cook until browned on both sides. You could also bake. If baking, use less Panko.
6. Transfer cooked patties to paper towel. Cool for a few minutes.
7. Serve on toasted bun with lotsa toppings.
