Food Recipes Smoky-Sweet Potato Burgers Be the first to rate & review! There’s no reason to buy expensive pre-made veggie burgers when you can make delicious ones at home, thanks to this easy recipe. You’ll combine sweet potato, beans, oats, and chia to make the base, and add chipotle chile to add a ton of smoky flavor. The chia seeds do double duty in these hearty vegetarian burgers—not only do they add protein, but they work to bind the mixture together so that the patties are firm and burger-like. The recipe lends itself to make ahead prep. With a batch of patties in the freezer, dinner is just a few minutes away. Serve these as you would a burger, or atop a bed of lettuce with some crumbled goat cheese.
