High in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium this delicious Sweet Potato Chickpea Burgers Recipe is the perfect dinner for meat-free Monday.
Cook the 3cm chunks of sweet potato either in the microwave or saucepan of water until just tender when tested with a skewer. Drain any excess water. Smash with a fork then transfer to a bowl. Cool for 15 minutes.
Combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, lemon juice and spice in a food processor. Season, process until mixture almost comes together.
Add to the sweet potato with the parsley, breadcrumbs and raw couscous. Shape mixture into 6 - 10 patties. Place on a lined baking tray, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up if time permits.
Place a flat tray into the oven. Preheat oven and tray 220°C fan-forced. Spray both sides of the patties with oil. Place onto the hot tray. Cook 15 minutes, turn and cook a further 10 minutes until lightly golden.
Serve with a salad. Veggies & rice or with a burger bun with lettuce, tomato and onion.
