Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger (vegan, healthyish)

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger recipe with step by step photos. A vegan burger packed with a ton of flavor including Vegan Chipotle Aioli and Guacamole.

My inspiration for this delicious vegan burger comes from Eat by Chloe. It’s this vegan cafe in New York City that has the best food. On my last trip to NYC, I had Eat by Chloe’s Guac Burger twice, it’s that good.

This Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger is filled with ingredients that are good for you, such as, sweet potato, black beans, and quinoa. I also threw in garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, and red onion for flavor, along with some spices. Aside from the burger though, the secret is in the Vegan Chipotle Aioli Sauce that makes this dish. Do not skip making this, it’s so good. Hope you guys make this vegan burger.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger (vegan, healthyish)

how to make sweet potato black bean burger step by step?

Prep

Using an Instant Pot, steam a sweet potato with 1 cup of water on high pressure for 12 minutes. Once done, peel the sweet potato and chop.
In the meantime, soak cashews in boiling hot water for about 15-30 minutes.
Once done, cook the 1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa and 1/2 cup water in the Instant Pot on high pressure for 1 minute. 
In the meantime, chop the red onion, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro.

Make the Guacamole

In a bowl, combine avocado, lime juice, red onions, cilantro, serrano chilies, and salt. Mix well. Set aside and refrigerate.

Make the Vegan Chipotle Aioli

Drain the cashews and add to a NutriBullet. Also add 6 tbsp water, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and chipotle peppers.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a bowl. Refrigerate until you’re ready to build your burger.

Make the Burger Patties

Add the peeled and chopped sweet potato, black beans and 1 cup of cooked quinoa to a food processor.
Pulse until everything is well blended.
This is what you should have.

Add the red onion, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro.
Followed by all the spices – cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well until well combined.
Add corn. 
And breadcrumbs. Mix well.

Split the patty mixture evenly into 4-6 sections.
I made 4 thick patties, however you can also make 6 thinner patties. My husband prefers thinner patties, just fyi.
Heat up a castiron skillet on medium. Once hot, spray avocado oil or any high heat oil. Place the patty on the skillet. Spray the top of the patty with avocado oil as well.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side to your liking. I prefer a slightly crunch on my patties.

Build your Burger

Lightly toast a whole wheat bun. Spread a generous layer of the chipotle aioli on the bottom half of the bun.
Layer with the patty, then lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
Now top with a generous amount of guacamole.
Followed by tortilla strips.

Garnish

Finish the burger off with ketchup and more chipotle aioli sauce. Top with the other half. Enjoy!

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠ ⁠ How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠ ⁠ For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠ ⁠ Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long! ⁠ Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #motherhood #krishandnish #babyhoneywhatscooking #loveofmylife #mamasboy #3weekspostpartum
