Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers

With the weather shifting to spring I am craving salads on some days and still some hearty winter foods like sweet potato. 

So today I decided to make a burger I could crumble on top of my salad!

1/2 of one large baked sweet potato (3/4 cup)

1 cup mashed black beans

1 egg

2 T almond flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1 -2 T coconut oil

Mash sweet potato and black beans in a bowl. Add in other ingredients and stir all together. Heat coconut oil to medium high in skillet. Spoon in burger mix and flatten to make a pattie. Cook evenly on both sides. Makes about 4-6 patties. 

The dressing is made with equal parts plain yogurt and salsa verde!
