3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cooked quinoa

Here is how you make Sweet Potato Quinoa Burgers:

Fill a large pot 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil on the stove. Add the sweet potatoes and lower the heat to simmering. Let the potatoes cook for about 20-30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool. (You can also use a steamer bag and cook the potatoes in the microwave.)While your potatoes are cooling preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non stick foil.Once your potatoes have cooled use a fork to mash them. You want them mashed but not creamy.In a large mixing bowl add half of the black beans and mash them with a fork. Add the rest of the beans and the remaining ingredients. Stir until just combined.Form the mixture into 10 balls. Each burger should be about 1/2″ thick. Place each patty on your prepared baking sheet and place in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping the burgers over once halfway through baking.Remove from the oven and serve!Serving Size: 1 burgerNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JLN_1968.
