Pierce the sweet potato with a fork a few times and then bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, until tender. If you are short on time, you can also cook the sweet potato in the microwave – just wrap it in a wet paper towel and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Once the potato has cooled, peel and mash in a mixing bowl. Add the beans and continue to mash until well combined.
Add the onion, fresh lime juice, flour, spinach, chipotle, and salt.
If you don’t have spinach or don’t like it, you can use a different type of green. I have tried both parsley and arugula, and they both turned out great!
Mix well to combine – this takes a while, but it will come together eventually.
Form patties the size of your buns. Press the patties into Panko bread crumbs to coat.
In a preheated pan, fry the burgers in a small amount of oil.
I like to serve my sweet potato burgers with a spicy mayonnaise, onion, tomato, and avocado slices.
