Sweet Potato & Chickpea Burgers: A crave-worthy veggie burger you won't be able to get enough of!

What happens when your husband is on a burger kick, but you don't eat meat?  You make your own amazing burger he will be jealous of!

This isn't my first burger recipe on the blog, but it sure is my favorite. Trust me, this Sweet Potato & Chickpea Burger will rival any carnivores love of grilled meat. Once you taste how much flavor it has, you’ll never eat a plain hamburger again. 

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 1 sweet potato
• ⅔ cup red onion
• ½ cup green bell pepper
• 1 15oz can chickpeas
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup preferred breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• dash salt/pepper

HOW DO I MAKE SWEET POTATO & CHICKPEA BURGERS?

Start by slicing 1 sweet potato and steaming until tender (It took me approximately 9-10 minutes, using a microwavable steamer).

Once potatoes are cool, the skin should easily be removed.

In a large bowl, mash sweet potato with one 15 oz can of chickpeas (drained).

Add the following ingredients and mix well:

• ⅔ cup red onion- chopped
• ½ cup green bell pepper- chopped
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup preferred breadcrumbs (I used gluten free)
• 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• dash salt/pepper

Form patties with hands and place on a prepared baking sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes. Flipping half way through.

As any non-meat eater will testify, finding a good, foolproof burger that doesn’t fall apart the second you try to flip it, is very difficult. Luckily, this recipe is just the ticket!

These Sweet Potato & Chickpea Burgers are gluten-free, freezer-friendly and 100% delicious!
