Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans drained & rinsed
- ½ cup sweet potato roasted & mashed
- ½ cup frozen or fresh corn
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced

- ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
- Prepare mashed sweet potato by roasting 1 small potato at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour or until soft.
- Finely dice peppers using a food processor.
- Add peppers and olive oil to a non-stick skillet and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes).

- Place sweet potato and half of the beans (about ¾ cuto the food processor fitted with the “S” blade.
- Process for about 15 second or until combined.
- Add oats and spices and process until combined.
- Transfer processed mixture to a medium bowl.
- Add cooled veggies and the other half of the beans and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Grease two large baking sheets.
- Measure out ¼ cup of the mixture and form into a patty on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat until all of the mixture is used, spacing about 1-2” apart (leaving room for flipping).
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, spray the side facing up with cooking spray or spray oil. Very carefully flip and continue baking 15-20 minutes longer or until both sides are browned.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly and serve.
Notes
To freeze: let patties cool to room temperature, then place them in a single layer on a greased baking pan (or one lined with wax paper). Once they are completely frozen, transfer to a ziploc bag or airtight container. To reheat: Place in a warm oven (350 degrees F) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave on high for 1 minute but the burgers will not retain their crispness if done this way.
