A tasty meatless recipe for Vegan Sweet Potato Chickpea Burger, perfect for any day. Ready in about 20 minutes. Soy-Free, Gluten-Free.

Ingredients

Patties

  • 1 small organic sweet potato
  • 398 ml canned chickpeas
  • a big handful fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • a pinch of chipotle powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup organic cornstarch or tapioca starch (if celiac, look for GF certified)
  • avocado oil for cooking

Fixings

  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 organic tomato sliced
  • 1/2 cup baby organic greens or 1/4 head of lettuce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 hamburger bun of your choice preferably organic (gluten-free if celiac)

Instructions

  1. Put all of the patties ingredients in a powerful blender, except the cornstarch. Blend until smooth-ish. You might need to scrape the sides of the blender a few times with a rubber spatula in order to get everything blended.
  2. Remove the mixture from the blender into a medium mixing bowl, and mix in the cornstarch.
  3. Form into 4 or 5 patties with your clean hands, and put in the fridge while you warm up a large pan over medium heat with avocado oil.
  4. When the pan is hot, carefully put the patties to cook. You might need to cook 2 at a time in order not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side.
  5. Fix your burgers with toasted buns, mayo, lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices on top. Enjoy!
