Easy Vegan Burger Patties image

Delicious dinner inspiration and easy to make. This vegan, gluten-free dinner option is a favorite of mine and an easy midweek go-to dinner. Quinoa, sweet potato, and kidney bean burgers that you can serve in a bun or on a bed of spinach topped with avocado, tomato, sauteed or pickled red onion, cilantro/coriander, and other favorite toppings. Yum!

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
¼ red onion, grated
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¾ cup cooked quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and place into a bowl.
Mash sweet potatoes, kidney beans, onion, and garlic together until it comes together. Mix in salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Add cooked quinoa and combine. Shape mixture into patties.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
