Sweet Potato Bean Burger

Ingredients

1. 3 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
2. 1 1/4 cup kidney or black beans
3. 1 cup brown rice
4. 2 Spring Onions (Green Onions)
5. 1 tsp Sea Salt
6. 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
7. 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
8. A pinch Cayenne Pepper
9. 4 tbsp plain flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 355
2. Scoop the insides of the roasted sweet potatoes into a bowl. Add the wholegrain rice.
3. Mash half the beans and add them to the bowl. Add the rest whole.
4. Finely slice the spring onions and add to the mixture.
5. Sprinkle in the spices, salt and pepper.
6. Add the plain flour.
7. Mix to combine. When the mixture is slightly soft, but clumping together, it's ready to form into patties.
8. To form the patties, scoop out a large ball of the mixture onto a well floured surface. Flour the top also. Shape the ball into a patty, about 1.5 inch thick, and wide enough to fit the burger buns you're using.
9. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and bake for around 1 hour, flipping them carefully halfway through. The longer you bake the patties for, the firmer and drier they are. Baking for an hour was perfect for me as I made them quite thick. This meant they were crispy outside, but still moist on the inside. The most important thing is that the outside is nice and dry.
10. Once out of the oven, you can either leave to cool and then freeze for later, or you can stick them straight in a non-stick pan with a little butter to crisp up. This should only take about 3-4 minutes on either side on a medium/high heat. Use your eye to judge how long they need though!
