I needed something super fast to put together last night for dinner and a veggie burger is definitely one of my go-to's . This particular recipe is simple, fast, and nutritionally balanced . It is also carries the stamp of approval from both my husband and little princess ( this speaks volumes because that's no easy task) . I love that these come out so thick there is no need to let them sit in the fridge prior to cooking like most veggie burgers . I hope you enjoy them as much as we did ! They are incredibly inexpensive to make even using organic Ingredients !

Tip : I make 3-4 sweet potatoes ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for recipes . I typically have quinoa made up ahead of time . I actually didn't for this recipe but made a big batch so I could use it for tonight's recipe as well . Quinoa only takes 15 minutes to cook ( yippee)

Ingredients :

1 cooked organic medium sweet potato

3/4 cup organic cooked quinoa

1 can of organic, BPA free black beans rinsed and dried a few minutes in a colander

Himalayan salt to taste

Onion powder to taste

2 Tablespoons of coconut oil (for the pan)

I use an extra filtered one ( from Trader Joe's) so there is no coconut flavor

Yield: 4 burgers

Directions :

Mix all the Ingredients together

I use a food processor and VERY LIGHTLY process but it's just as easy to mix it by hand .

( squish black beans a bit with a fork, mix with sweet potatoes ,spices and then fold in the quinoa)

Make into four patties

Heat up a pan with the coconut oil on med-high

Fry for 5 min on each side

I served these on sprouted grain rolls with Spinach with salted avocado & Cut Cucumber

This Burger is packed with complete protein and putting it on a sprouted grain roll adds another 10 grams of complete protein !

Cost :

Organic cucumber $2

Avocado $1.50

Sprouted grain rolls 2.99 ( not gluten free )
Organic Sweet Potato $1
Organic can of black Beans $1
Organic Quinoa $1

This entire nutrient dense, well balanced, and super satiating meal is approximately $10 !!
For 4 people!
If you need to make this cheaper you can switch out some of the organic ingredients like the cucumber and don't use the skin .
