Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, mashed the roasted sweet potatoes using a fork or potato masher.

Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns if desired.

To assemble each burger, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the lettuce, followed by the veggie patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and finally a tablespoon of ketchup before placing the top half of the bun.
