Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled and diced sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with half a tablespoon of coconut oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender, then let cool slightly.
Step 2
In a skillet, heat the remaining half tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Step 4
Add the sautéed onion and garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, egg, almond flour, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into 4 burger patties.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Serve the burgers on your choice of Paleo-friendly buns or lettuce wraps, with your favorite Paleo toppings.
