And that’s where this Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger comes in. Made from quinoa, sweet potatoes, black beans and spices, this black bean burger is gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. No eggs are needed to connect the patties together. The mashed sweet potatoes and black beans do all the work. And the quinoa? It gives the black bean burger a nice texture and adds a little more protein to improve the satisfaction factor.
To make it even better, I whipped up a Chili Lime Mayo, which is easy to prepare and only needs a bowl and a fork. All you have to do is mix mayonnaise, chilli garlic sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice. It’s tasty, a bit spicy and has a hint of acidity that highlights all the flavors of the Black Bean Burger. Really the best spice of all time.
