Preparation

Step 1

These chipotle quinoa sweet potato patties were delicious. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with flavor. They would also make a fantastic veggie burger.  We have left over batter so I am heading to the store to buy buns.  Yum!

We topped our patties with avocado and mixed greens.  They were fantastic.

Start by cooking the quinoa. Combine quinoa with water.  Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.  Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until quinoa is light and fluffy. Set aside.

Wash your sweet potato and dice it ( I don’t peel my sweet potatoes but you definitely can).  Place it in a pot with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potato is fork tender. About 10 minutes.

Once sweet potato and quinoa are cooked wait until they are cool enough to handle.  Place them in a large bowl with the beans and spices.  Mash with the back of a fork or potato masher. Leave some of the mixture a little chunky for texture!  Form patties (we were able to form 4 medium sized patties, and sprinkle each side with bread crumbs (and a few sesame seeds if you’d like). Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil.  Cook each patty for about 5 minutes per side or until browned and slightly crispy.
