Smash burger recipe

There is nothing quite smash burger recipe these savory, sweet, spicy, and crunchy quinoa sweet potato burgers! They are packed with flavor and amazing nutrients – and not to mention, gorgeous looking!

I was so excited to try to come up with a recipe for these, and it has finally arrived. The best aspect of vegan burgers is the level of creativity you can have with them, as well as their potential for incredible nutritional value. There is no guilt after eating one of these babies! Sweet potatoes are packed with high amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, as well as contain fiber and are a highly anti-inflamatory food. Out of all the grains, quinoa has the highest amount of protein.

Quinoa is also filled with fiber, phosphorous, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Not to mention it is gluten free! Beans and avocado add extra fiber and protein. This recipe yields either 2 extra large patties, 3 medium sized patties, or 4 sliders. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.

While the quinoa is cooking, peal and dice 1 medium, or 2 small, sweet potatoes. Cook the sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water on the stove for about 10 minutes, or until soft and mash-able. Once the sweet potatoes and quinoa are done cooking, combine the sweet potatoes and white beans in a mixing bowl and smash with a potato masher until well mashed but still retaining a little texture from the beans. Mix well, and then add the quinoa and fold it into the mixture with a spatula. Heat a medium size pan on the stove to medium heat and drizzle with some olive oil.

This recipe was featured on Healthy Vegan Fridays over at Every Day Vegan Girl! Mmmm I love the crunch panko adds to burgers. Pair that with the sweetness of sweet potato, heat from the chipotle and the creamy mellowness of avocado, well you just can’t lose! Thanks for linking up to Healthy Vegan Friday!
