Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Cooked brown rice
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small Jalapeno, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
• 1.5 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 large Sweet potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, dairy-free buns

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2For the sweet potato fries: Toss the sweet potato fries with avocado oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and crispy.
3. 3While fries bake, prepare the burger mixture: In a large bowl, mash about half of the black beans with a fork or potato masher. Add the remaining whole black beans, cooked brown rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, gluten-free breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. 4Form the mixture into 4 patties.
5. 5Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, until heated through and nicely browned. Alternatively, bake the burgers on a separate lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
6. 6Serve the black bean burgers on dairy-free buns with your favorite toppings, alongside the sweet potato fries.
