 Ingredients- 2 cups mashed sweet potato
- 1 cup cooked unsalted black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup finely diced green onion
- 2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika

- 1/4 tsp chipotle powder (if you want to add some spice)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
Topping Ideas:
- Sliced avocado

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cut sweet potatoes in half. Rub with olive oil and place face down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake sweet potatoes until soft and tender to the touch - about 30 minutes - set aside. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees.
- While potatoes are baking, cook the rice.
- Add black beans to a mixing bowl and mash half of them for texture. Then add sweet potato and lightly mash. Add 1 cup rice, green onion, almond meal and spices. Mix to combine. The mixtures should be moldable at this point, add more rice if too wet.
- Form mixture into burger shapes and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
