How to store
These Sweet Potato Burger Patties are one of my favorite meals. You can make them ahead of time.
Prepare the raw mixture for the patties and store it in a large bowl covered with plastic foil in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. You can shape the burger patties right before baking or store them already shaped.
Store cooked patties in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They are good even cold. You can reheat them in the oven or put them on a medium heated pan for several minutes on each side.

Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger Patties
Ingredients
- 1 (320 g) sweet potato, peeled, ~11.3 oz
- 1 cup (170 g) quinoa, dry
- 2 cups (480 ml) water
- ½ cup (65 g) frozen peas
- 1 onion, shredded
- ½ bunch parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Chop the sweet potato into several large pieces and boil for 10 mins.
- Place quinoa, water, and peas in a pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 mins. Let it aside for 5 mins to absorb any water left.
- In a large bowl mash the cooked sweet potato with a fork. Add the cooked quinoa and peas, shredded onion, and seasoning. Mix everything well.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Shape the mixture into patties. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 mins. Enjoy!
Notes
- When I cook I love using an electric kettle to boil water quickly and save some time.
- I use ground flaxseed to thicken the mixture. You can add more as needed. I usually grind whole flaxseed at home with a blenderand then keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
With all respect, it’s great that you’re sharing and teaching about the benefits of Quinoa and your favorite recipes but…. why not teach about soaking the Quinoa to remove the saponins? It will be easier to digest and less bitter. Even better if you do a large batch and toast it. It can be refrigerated for other recipes. Soaking grains in general is something that other cultures do for reasons not so obvious to Americans…. Keep up the good work doctor!
I made these patties and topped them with the recommended cashew sauce. I loved how they browned a bit on their underside, so next time I’ll try turning them over halfway through so they get this way on both sides. My husband and I loved them!
