Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Yield: 6 small patties

1 1/2 cups sweet potato or butternut squash, peeled and diced

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

salt and pepper

1/3 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can black beans
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped (or 1/2 cup sunflower seeds)

1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp thyme

2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

3 tbsp bbq sauce

1 tbsp oat flour

1/2 cup spelt bread crumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Place sweet potato onto one prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, or until fork-tender. Set aside.
3. In a medium pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Transfer to a large bowl.
4. In a food processor, pulse the beans. Do not overprocess, still want to have some texture. Add the beans to the bowl.
5. Add walnuts, spices, parsley, bbq sauce, oat flour, and bread crumbs to the bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
6. Scoop 1/3 cup of dough and shape into a patty. Place on the other prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Gently flip with a spatula, and then bake for 10 to 20 minutes more, until firm and lightly golden.
