Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans
- 2 lb sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 count egg
- ½ count yellow onion
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 count hamburger buns
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head lettuce
- 1 count tomato
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut sweet potatoes into thin fries, toss with 2 tbsp oil, salt and half the paprika, and spread on a sheet pan in one layer.
- Roast the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until browned at the edges.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans, pat them very dry, and mash in a bowl with a fork, leaving some chunks.
- Finely chop the onion and stir it into the beans with the egg, panko, cumin, remaining paprika, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties 4-5 minutes per side until crisp and heated through. Flip gently; they firm up as they cook.
- Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and ketchup, with the fries on the side.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
