Recipe For Spicy Chickpea Barley and Quinoa Veggie Burger
Spicy Chickpea Barley and Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe
It's BBQ time and if you're like me, you love a good veggie burger. Since most of the ones you find in the freezer section tend to be pretty flavorless, I'm going to share with you this recipe that will knock your socks off. Seriously, this is one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. It's a recipe created by an old friend, and now you can try it too.
These burgers are a cinch to make. Just whip up the mixture, heat up the patties, and they're great to eat right away, but you can also freeze them to heat up for later. To see the recipe read more.

Directions
- Peel, dice, and steam the sweet potato until soft.
