Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 8 mini burger buns
• 1 large sweet potato, cut into fries
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for fries)
• Salt and pepper to taste (for fries)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato fries in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth. Add breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 8 small patties. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
4. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
5. Assemble the mini burgers by placing each patty on a mini burger bun.
6. Serve the mini veggie burgers with crispy sweet potato fries on the side.

Helpful Tips

• If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the burger mixture.
• Substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese or a dairy-free alternative.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave before serving.

Pairings

These mini veggie burgers pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad, a side of coleslaw, or some lightly steamed green beans. For drinks, a chilled glass of lemonade or a cold iced tea makes for a refreshing complement.
