I am not going to lie…these burgers take some prep time in the kitchen upfront, but in the long run you are saving time with this batch cooking method.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sized sweet potato (previous cooked. Try roasting in the oven on 400f for 30-45 minutes until tender with a fork)

  • 1 small onion (~1/2 cup chopped)

  • 1 cup cooked black beans (from a can or previously dried and boiled

  • 4 garlic gloves

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1 whole lime (or Tbsp lime juice)

  • 8 Tbsp almond meal

  • Optional (add any leftover fresh herbs from the fridge like parsley, basil, thyme or sage)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  2. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and combined evenly (the batter will be sort of loose and that is ok. If it feels to wet, add more almond meal)

  3. Make desired sized patties on the parchment paper (keep in mind this batter should make around 8 thin ones).

  4. Cook in the over and flip around 30minute mark.

  5. Depending on your oven, these will take about 45-60minutes to cook.

  6. Enjoy on a salad, in a sandwich and freeze leftovers for easy healthy meals anytime!
