Instructions
- Start by baking the sweet potatoes. Microwave for 8-10 minutes or cook in the oven until tender.
- Mix ground flax seed with 1/3 cup of water in a large bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a flax egg.
- Once sweet potatoes are cool, scoop out about 2 cups of mashed sweet potato and add to the bowl with the flax egg.
- Add drained garbanzo or white beans and mash with a potato masher, leaving some texture.
- Add cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Stir in rolled oats, nutritional yeast (if using), ketchup or tomato paste, sunflower seeds, and chopped cilantro.
- Shape the mixture into patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, aiming for 8-9 burgers.
- Place patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip each patty and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- For a quicker method, cook in an air fryer at 400°F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
