Smokey Sweet Potato Burgers with Garlic Cream Sauce
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
2 cups coarsely mashed sweet potatoes or yams, about 2 large potatoes
2 bulbs of roasted garlic
1 cup white beans (rinsed and drained, if canned use Eden – it’s BPA-free)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs or almond flour
1/3 cup oat flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cumin
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, sour cream or 10% Goat’s yogurt
1 tsp pure maple syrup
Extra sea salt and pepper for seasoning yogurt/cream
4 whole-grain whole wheat buns
Instructions:
- Pierce potatoes (I used 2 large) all over with a fork and place on a paper towel, setting in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes at 375°F, then flip and cook for 15 minutes more. Remove, slice in half and let cool until you can scoop out the flesh.
- In a large bowl, coarsely mash beans with a fork. Add in sweet potato and mash together, then add in spices, salt and pepper, minced garlic, egg, panko and flour. Mix together until combined, then place bowl in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. This helps form them into patties, but as a warning they are still somewhat messy.
- While mixture is chilling, combine yogurt/sour cream with 2 bulbs (squeezed out) of roasted garlic cloves, maple syrup and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth then set aside until ready to use.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Remove mixture from fridge and form into 4 equal patties, then place in the skillet once hot. Since the mixture can be wet and messy, do not move until they are fully cooked and golden on one side! This takes about 5-6 minutes. Then, add more oil if needed (this really helps cook them) and flip burgers very gently. Cook for another 5-6 minutes. Toast buns if desired.
- Assemble by topping burgers with roasted garlic cream and avocado!
