[Leftover] Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Quinoa Burgers

Tonight's meatless burgers deliver loads of savory, southwestern flavor. They're also weeknight-friendly thanks to sweet potatoes and quinoa cooked earlier in the week. We love them with zesty chipotle mayo, but feel free to use your preferred burger toppings if you like.

Place beans and sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and mash with a pastry blender or fork, leaving some larger pieces of beans intact for texture. Fold in quinoa, smoked paprika, cumin (portion for burgers), coriander, salt, pepper, and onions. Mix until thoroughly combined. You can also pulse the ingredients in a food processor, if you prefer. Form the mixture into burger-shaped patties - one per serving. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425 F / 218 C degrees. Spread green beans out on a baking sheet and toss with cooking oil and cumin (portions for beans). Season with some salt and pepper. Roast beans, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are crisp-tender and beginning to brown in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss finished beans with lime juice (portion for beans).

  2. While green beans roast, heat a nonstick skillet with cooking oil (portion for burgers) over medium heat. Place burger patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. Toast hamburger buns, if desired.

  4. Spread buns with chipotle mayo and fill with burger patties, lettuce, and tomatoes.

  5. Serve burgers with green bean “fries” on the side, along with extra chipotle mayo for dipping. Enjoy!
