Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Halve and score the sweet potatoes. Place into a microwave-safe pan. Add in 2 tbs. of water, cover with a damp paper towel, and pop into the microwave for 5 to 8 minutes. Allow sweet potatoes to cool.

Scoop flesh of sweet potatoes into a food processor. Add in drained chickpeas, garam masala, generous dash of salt, and onions. Pulse until everything is combined. Add in peas and then form into 6 to 8 patties. Place onto a sheet pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking oil.

Add some cooking oil to a pan and sear the patties for 2 to 3 minutes until a nice golden color is achieved.

Move patties back onto sheet pan. Bake patties in the oven for 15 minutes. Add cheese in the last 2 minutes. Take patties out of the oven and serve over whole wheat burger buns.
