Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet
with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Mash the beans with a fork or pulse in a food
processor so no whole beans are left, but the mixture
is still chunky with some half beans.
3. To make the sweet potatoes, I cook mine in the
microwave, but you can also steam for 15 to 17
minutes. (I leave the potato skins on for added
nutrition, but you can peel them off after cooking, if
desired.) Then mash and mix them with the nondairy
milk to make “mashed potatoes.”
4. Mix the mashed beans with 1 cup of the mashed
sweet potato, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika,
onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, liquid smoke,
and ketchup (use 3 tablespoons for a slight tomato
flavor), stirring to combine.
5. Add the rolled and instant oats and stir to combine
again. Add hot sauce to taste if desired, plus a few
dashes of chipotle powder (a little goes a long way!),
then season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.
Taste and add more heat or smoke as desired.
6. Separate into five equal portions and roll into balls
with damp hands. Place balls on baking sheet
(leaving room to spread), and press lightly into
patties with your palm.
7. Bake for 10 minutes (patties should be somewhat
firm after 10 minutes; if not, wait a few more
minutes), flip with spatula, and bake for 5 more
minutes. Then flip them again and bake for another 2
to 5 minutes, until they are deep in color, crisp, and
firmer, but be careful not to burn.
