Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger Patties
These burger patties are homemade, loaded with plant protein. They are also easy to make, ready in 30 mins. Baked, not fried. Make a great healthy family lunch or dinner.
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.
