Sweet Potato, Chickpea, and Quinoa Veggie Burger

From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients

  1. 1 small sweet potato, baked
    1/4 cup dry quinoa
    1/4 cup dry barley
    15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
    2 tablespoons parsley
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 1/2 fresh red peppers

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the sweet potato for 45-60 minutes or until soft.
  2. While the sweet potato is baking, cook the quinoa and barley in separate pots until soft, about 30-60 minutes (barley takes a little longer).
  3. Remove the stem and seeds from the red peppers. Cut the whole pepper in quarters and the half a pepper in half, and roast all six pieces in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Once the sweet potato is baked and cooled, combine garbanzo beans, sweet potato, parsley, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt and pepper, flour, and one tablespoon oil in a food processor.
  5. Allow the grains to cool, and then in a separate bowl, mix the bean mixture with the quinoa and barley.
  6. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium heat. Place heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the hot pan, and use the back of the spoon to pat them flat and form four-inch diameter patties. Brown both sides of each burger. Serve on a bun with one piece of the roasted pepper, sliced into thirds.

Nutritional information is for one patty served with a slice of roasted pepper.
