These easy weeknight sweet potato burgers are done in 20 minutes, and are so delicious they’ll be put on the meatless Monday rotation!
During the week, time after work seems to pass faster than anything I’ve ever experienced. I blame it on Ben lol, in the best way possible.
Gone are the days I can just spend countless time putting together dinner. Now it’s more of a strategic game of “what will get done the fastest.”
I happened to have a lone sweet potato in my refrigerator (it was a pretty big one) and a 1/2 used can of spicy black beans and made up this recipe on the fly. I tried something new: I microwaved the sweet potato instead of boiling it, and it took so much less time and worked so well, it’s now my favorite way to make mashed sweet potato for these sweet potato burgers!
You can use any kind of black beans you want: plain black beans, spicy black beans, or chili black beans, they all work!
While the sweet potatoes are microwaving/cooking, you mix together a sriracha mayo sauce and get the toppings ready (all you do is slice an avocado, get some lettuce cut and cut a bun in half.)
When the sweet potato is done cooking, you drain the water and then mix up the burgers and cook them for a few minutes in a pan on the stove top. Then you assemble your burger and you’ve got yourself an amazing and easy weeknight vegetarian dinner!
These sweet potato burgers have a really good taste and fill you up, they’re hearty and soooo good! I took them to work for a week straight and have not been able to stop raving about them, these sweet potato burgers are one of my favorite recipes I’ve created, my hubby agrees, he loves these too, so now they’re made on repeat over at our house.

I made these tonight for my 11 month old baby! I just omitted the salt and spices since I wasn’t sure how he would react to them, and I made 8 smaller patties. He absolutely LOVES them! I froze the leftovers for future meals, thank you so much for the recipe!
