Sweet potato and almond butter burger
These vegan burgers – made with sweet potaot/kumara, borlotti beans and almond butter – are high in fibre and low in saturated fat; a healthier burger recipe.
Serves: 4
Time to make: 35 mins
Hands-on time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 300g sweet potato, peeled and chopped into bite-size chunks
- 400g can of borlotti beans, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon vegemite/marmite spread
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoon crunchy almond butter (and extra almond butter, to serve)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- plain flour, to dust
- 4 burger buns
- 1 head lettuce
- 250g jar roasted capsicums
- 4 tablespoons chilli sauce
- onion rings, to serve
Instructions
1 Boil a kettle, pour the water into a saucepan and carefully add the kumara. Cook for 8 minutes until tender. Drain well.
2 Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Put all of the ingredients except the oil and flour into a food processor and season well. Pulse a few times until the mixture has blended but still retains some texture.
3 Tip the mixture onto a clean work surface and divide into four portions. Then, dust your hands with flour before shaping each portion into burger-shaped patties. Set aside on a flour-dusted plate.
4 Pour the oil into a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the burgers for 8 minutes on each side until well browned. Serve in burger buns with lettuce, roasted peppers, hot sauce and extra almond butter.
HFG tip
Use a spatula to carefully turn the burgers, if they start to spread use the spatula to nudge back into shape.

Delicious! I added fresh coriander & black garlic to the mix & served with large green salad & gherkins. Yum, one of the best recipes.
