INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Black Beans (~130g)
0.25 cup Rolled Oats (~20g)
2 large Eggs
0.25 cup diced Red Bell Pepper (~38g)
0.25 cup diced Onion (~40g)
0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
0.25 tsp Ground Cumin
1 medium Sweet Potato (~114g)
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes, then toss with a small drizzle of olive oil (optional, if oil is desired but can be omitted or substituted for a spray) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
In a medium bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth with a few chunks for texture. Stir in the rolled oats, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Crack the eggs into the bean mixture and mix thoroughly until the ingredients bind together. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more oats to help absorb the moisture.
Form the mixture into a patty shape. Optionally, lightly spray or brush a pan with a minimal amount of oil and cook the patty on medium heat over a nonstick skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side until a crispy exterior forms.
Plate the warm black bean burger alongside the roasted sweet potato cubes. Serve with a side of nonfat Greek yogurt for dipping or as a topping on the burger.
