Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 0.75 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.75 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 large Sweet potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 each Gluten-free burger buns
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 4 each Tomato slices

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2For the sweet potato fries: Toss the sweet potato fries with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired spices (like paprika or garlic powder). Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and crispy.
3. 3For the black bean burgers: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still slightly chunky. Leave some beans whole for texture.
4. 4Add the gluten-free rolled oats, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine.
5. 5Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
6. 6Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
7. 7Cook the black bean patties for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked on a separate baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
8. 8Assemble the burgers on gluten-free buns with lettuce and tomato slices. Serve with the sweet potato fries.
