Ingredients for vegan burger:
Method of preparing the vegan burger:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise, rub with olive oil and place face down on a lined baking sheet. Bake until soft and tender (about 30 minutes) then remove from oven, reducing the heat to 375°F.
-
Cook the rice. Mash half the beans in a bowl and add the rest. Season with some salt. Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the bowl, mash it. Add one cup rice, scallions, chopped walnuts and spices.
-
Combine well and taste, adjusting the seasoning accordingly. If the mixture feels too wet, add more rice or walnuts, keeping a moist but moldable texture.
-
Mold your sweet potato mix into patties -the thinner they are, the faster they'll cook. Once all the burgers are ready, bake for 30 to 45 minutes, flipping them after 20 minutes.
-
Serve on buns and top each bun with slices of avocado, red onion, some greens and ketchup or salsa.
Chef's Tip:
Notice that all measures for lentils are for cooked ones, so when you cook them, use a little less than specified as they will swell.
