Equipment

• Roasting tray
• Food processor
• Baking tray
• Oven

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
• 1 red pepper diced
• ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• ¾ tsp sea salt or more to taste

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).
• Turn off heat and add corn. Stir until combined. Set aside to cool.
• 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.
