Ingredients:
For the burgers:
* 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
* 1 medium yellow onion, grated
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
* 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko crumbs
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1/4 cup water
* Salt and pepper, to taste
For the mango chutney:
* 1 ripe mango, diced
* 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
* 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
* Juice of half a lime
* 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
* 1/4 cup water
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* Optional: 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Place the diced sweet potato onto a sheet pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and spread into a single layer. Roast for about 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, place the cooked black beans, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and lime juice in a food processor. Process until smooth.
4. Transfer the processed black bean mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs, egg, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Once the sweet potatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them to a separate bowl and mash well. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, brown sugar, and any additional seasoning as desired.
6. Divide the black bean mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty. Gently press down on each patty to flatten slightly.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a few drops of olive oil. Cook the veggie burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Alternatively, you can also bake the veggie burgers at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
8. While the veggie burgers are cooking, prepare the mango chutney by combining all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
9. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the mashed sweet potato on the bottom half of a whole grain bun. Top with the veggie burger, and then add your choice of toppings such as sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Drizzle with extra mango chutney, if desired.
