Ingredients

  • 400 g sweet potatoes (about 1 medium)
  • 200 g Chickpeas (canned; drained weight)
  • 50 g soy flour
  • 50 g almond flour
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 4 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 vegan burger buns (with sesame seeds)
  • 2 leaves frisée lettuce
  • 0.5 bunch cilantro
  • 1 mild chili pepper
  • 1 large tomato
  • 80 g vegan mayonnaise (4 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel the sweet potatoes, cut into pieces and bring to a boil in a pot with a little water; cook for about 15 minutes. Drain the chickpeas, rinse them, and mash together with the slightly cooled sweet potatoes using a potato masher. Add soy and almond flour, season with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and ground coriander. If needed, add a bit of water. Let rest for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Shape the mixture into 4 flat patties and coat them in breadcrumbs. Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the patties over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

  3. 3.

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves; set aside. Roughly tear the cilantro. Wash the tomato and slice it. Slice the chili pepper into rings. Cut the burger buns open and toast the cut sides in a hot, fat‑free pan.

  4. 4.

    Place the bottom bun on a plate and arrange any remaining ingredients on top as desired. Cover with the top bun and serve.
