Other ingredients

  • Burger buns gluten-free, whole wheat, regular
  • Fresh veggies of choice tomatoes, lettuce, onion, avocado
  • Sesame seeds

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.
  • Assemble the quinoa sweet potato burgers with burger buns of your choice, pile some fresh veggies on top, such as tomato slices, lettuce leaves, onion rings, avocado slices. It pairs perfectly with my easy 5-min Cashew Sauce. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

  • When I cook something in my kitchen I love to use an electric kettle to boil water quickly and save some time.
  • If your burger patties mixture is too wet use more ground flaxseed as needed to thicken it. I usually grind whole flaxseed at home with a blender and then keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
