Ingredients:

  

·      2 large sweet potatoes, baked and peeled

·      1 cup black beans, cooked and mashed

·      1 ½ cups quinoa

·      1/2 cup onions, chopped

·      ½ cup spinach, chopped and slightly wilted on stovetop

·      1/3 cup ground flaxseed

·      2 cloves garlic, minced

·      1 t turmeric

·      1 t paprika

·      salt and pepper to taste

 

 

 

Directions:

 

1)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2)  Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl with fork.

3)  Grab handful of mix and pack tightly into a ball.  Each should be roughly the size of your palm for even baking and serving size.

4)  Place ‘burgers’ onto a greased baking sheet or parchment paper, a few inches apart.  Flatten to make a patty.

5)   Bake 35-40 minutes, flipping the burgers halfway.

6)  Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing with spatula.

7)  Add your favorite toppings!  For me, that means avocado, sliced onion, and sliced tomatoes. 

8)  Enjoy!
