Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounces) no salt added black beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups cubed sweet potatoes, peeled (about 3 regular sized potatoes)
3/4 cup sweet corn, frozen or fresh (thawed if frozen, fresh grilled corn would be excellent in this dish)
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Garlic Gold Oil or olive oil
heaping 1/3 cup garbanzo bean flour (you can also use finely ground rolled oats or almond flour)
2 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds
1/4 tsp sea salt
fresh black pepper to taste
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
1 tbsp hot sauce (optional – Tabasco Garlic Pepper Sauce works great in these burgers)

Preparation:

Fill a large pot 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil on the stove. Add the sweet potatoes and lower the heat to simmering. Let the potatoes cook for about 20-30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool. (You can also use a steamer bag and cook the potatoes in the microwave.)

While your potatoes are cooling preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non stick foil.

Once your potatoes have cooled use a fork to mash them. You want them mashed but not creamy.
In a large mixing bowl add half of the black beans and mash them with a fork.

Add the rest of the beans and the remaining ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Form the mixture into 10 balls. Each burger should be about 1/2″ thick.

Place each patty on your prepared baking sheet and place in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping the burgers over once halfway through baking.
Remove from the oven and serve!
