Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Red onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Avocado
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Lime
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 4 whole Burger buns
• 0 as desired Optional toppings (lettuce, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool slightly before peeling.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes bake, prepare the garlic spread. Mince two garlic cloves finely and mix them with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Set aside in the fridge to let the flavors develop.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the peeled sweet potatoes, drained and rinsed chickpeas, rolled oats, chopped red onion, remaining minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mash everything together with a potato masher or blend briefly with a hand blender until the mixture holds together but is slightly chunky.

Step 4

Form the sweet potato mixture into 4 evenly sized patties. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate them for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the avocado salsa. Dice the avocados and cherry tomatoes, and place them in a medium bowl. Add chopped cilantro, the juice of one lime, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and set aside.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired. Spread the garlic mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked sweet potato patty on top, followed by a generous spoonful of avocado salsa. Add optional toppings like lettuce or pickles, and cover with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet Potato Burgers with Avocado Salsa and Garlic Spread!
