Instructions:
Prepare the patties:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, onion, black beans, olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin seeds, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Mix in the optional breadcrumbs if using.
3. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into 4 patties about 1/2-inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
While the patties are baking, prepare the slaw:
1. Whisk together the lime juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and diced red bell pepper to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Make the sauce:
1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Assemble the burgers:
1. Divide the coleslaw among four buns and spread some of the sauce on each bottom bun. Top with a patty, lettuce leaves, tomato slices, pickles, and any other favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
