Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 1 medium sweet potato about 9 ounces, peeled and sliced thinly
- 16 ounces mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 1 medium red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper more to taste
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 °F.
- Place sweet potato on a sheet-tray lined with parchment paper. Toss in a teaspoon of olive oil, one teaspoon sea salt, and one teaspoon pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- In a medium skillet over high heat, cook mushrooms and onions until softened and all the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Let sweet potatoes and mushrooms cool until no longer very hot.
- Add add mushrooms mixture, sweet potato, walnuts, spices, salt, pepper, almond flour, egg and chia seeds. Pulse a few times until just combined, make sure not to over-process the mixture. There should be pea like-sized bits of sweet potato.
- Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and bring the oven temperature down to 350 °F.
- Shape the sweet potato and mushroom mixture into 6 one-inch patties.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the burgers and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with toppings of choice!
Notes
They will keep well for up to 3 months in the freezer. To reheat it: place on a parchment lined sheetpan and bake in at 375ºF oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. This could also work in the toasted. I haven't tried it in the microwave, but it might reheat ok in that too.
