The ingredients for Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Patties are:

4 small sweet potatoes, cooked
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed, divided
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds or other nuts
1/4 cup corn (thawed if frozen)
1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped
Oil for cooking
optional salt and pepper

Here is how you make Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Patties:

Begin by cooking potatoes with their skins on. You can either cut them up and boil on the stove or bake them in the oven. If you do not have cooked quinoa on hand, you can prepare it while while the potatoes are cooking.Mash potatoes and cut up the skins. You should have 1.25 to 1.5 cups of sweet potatoes.Set aside 1/4 cup of beans, mash the rest with a fork, then stir them into the sweet potatoes.Fold in the cooked quinoa and spices. Put the mixture in the refrigerator for one hour at a minimum to let the quinoa soak up all the flavor and liquid.When ready to prepare the patties, stir in quinoa flour. You may want to add the last of flour slowly and adjust the amount you use so you get a stiff mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated.Finally, add the corn, sunflower seeds, and herbs. I like cilantro, but parsley would work well.Taste and add salt or pepper, if needed. Shape into eight patties, approximately 1/2 cup each. The sugar in the sweet potatoes makes these patties sticky when forming, but if you have added enough flour, they should hold their shape in the pan.Heat skillet to medium and coat with oil. Sear patties for about 3 minutes on each side. The sides will be very crisp and brown, and patties should be warmed through.Serving Size:?8 patties approx 1/2 cup each
