- Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
- In a pot, boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes and black beans together until mostly smooth, leaving some texture for a hearty bite.
- Add the breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making sure to press them together firmly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties to the skillet.
- Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
- Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet if desired.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and topping with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and a drizzle of Sriracha or your favorite sauce.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add chopped jalapeños to the patty mixture.
- Feel free to swap out the breadcrumbs for gluten-free alternatives to create a gluten-free burger.
- These patties freeze well; make a double batch and freeze uncooked patties for a quick meal later.
