Millet and Black Bean Burgers

Roast 3 Small sweet potatoes at 400F until soft

Peel and cut into small pieces when cool

Cook 1/3c dry millet as per packet directions

Combine with sweet potatoes and 1-can black beans (drained and rinsed) or 3/4c dry black beans, cooked

Add 1/2 red onion (finely chopped), 1/2c cilantro leaves (measured then chopped), 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp sriracha (or to taste), salt to taste

Mash with potato masher until well combined but try not to mash too many of the beans

Process 1c old fashioned rolled oats until flakes just break apart but not into flour

Mix into burger batter

If possible, refrigerate batter at least 15 minutes (the longer the better) so it binds better

Use 1/4c measuring cup to form equal-sized patties

Either pan fry or bake

If baking, put on parchment-lined baking sheet at 400F for about 15-20 minutes (until golden brown), flipping half way
