About the Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp chili powder (optional)

  • lettuce (optional)

  • 1 onion, sliced (optional)

  • 1 tomato, sliced (optional)

  • 4 whole-wheat bun, toasted

  • 1/8 cup cornmeal

  • 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce (optional)

  • 3 Tbsp tamari sauce

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into small 1-inch chunks

  • 11/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 2 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice

  • 1 lb can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion

  • pinch of salt

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (or canola oil), plus more for sautéing

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Place the potato, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Spray a small baking pan with oil, and spread the sweet potato out in an even layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.

  3. Warm a small sauté pan and add remaining tablespoon of oil and the onion. Sauté until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. Pulse the next 9 ingredients together with the roasted sweet potato and onion in a food processor or stand mixer, being careful not to overmix. Taste for seasoning, then cool in the fridge. Remove after chilled and form six 6-ounce patties.

  5. Warm a cast-iron skillet or other heavy pan. Spray pan with olive oil and spray the burgers lightly. Brown both sides.

  6. Serve on toasted buns and top with your favorite veggies.
