Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers recipe

These days I'm eating less and less meat. I still love meat and I'm not planning on turning a full time vegetarian (at least not for now) but as I get older I just don't feel the need to eat as much meat as I used to. In exchange, I'm trying to increase my intake of vegetables, and these sweet potato burgers are the perfect excuse for that.

Scroll down to find out how I make them:

Ingredients (for 5 to 6 burgers):

• 1 cup of sweet potato (boiled and smashed)
• 1 cup of spinach leaves
• 1 onion
• 1 egg
• 2 slices of day-old bread
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 table spoon of olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions: 

Boil and smash the sweet potato first. 

 

In a bowl, combine all ingredients together (except the olive oil). Use your hands to blend everything.

Heat the olive oil in a non stick pan. Create the burger shapes by separating portions of the mixture, rolling then into a ball and then flattening then before placing in the pan.

Cook on both sides until the burgers turn a nice golden color.

Serve while still warm.
