  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • 6 hamburger buns, gluten free or regular
  • Burger toppings of your choice: lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion, etc…
  • Jalapeno, to taste. I used pickled jalapenos
  • 3 cups diced sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 2 – 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves

Instruction

  • Make the mayo: add all of the mayo ingredients to a medium sized bowl and stir until combined. Set aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a large sheet pan, place the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, and all the spices. Toss until sweet potatoes are coated and place into the pre-heated oven. Roast for about 25 minutes, flipping once, or until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Let cool for a few minutes.
  • Place all of the veggie burger ingredients into a food processor and process for about 3 – 5 seconds until everything is mixed together but still has some texture to it. Form patties (you should get about 6 of them depending on the size you make) and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.*
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of olive oil. Place burgers in the hot pan and cook for about 10 minutes, flipping once, until burgers are heated through.
  • If grilling the burgers, grill over medium heat and rub a little bit of olive oil on the grill to ensure that the burgers don’t stick.
  • Top veggie burgers with curry cilantro mayo and enjoy on a bun with toppings of your choice!
