Southwest Veggie Burgers by Chad Sarno with Whole Foods Market

capture_04122014_140604Chad makes these healthy burgers with black beans, brown rice, roasted bell pepper, fresh tomato, carrot, green onions, sweet potato, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, and garlic.  He uses the pre-cooked sweet potato as a binder in this recipe.  He mixes all these ingredients together, and places the mixture in the refrigerator for a little while to firm it up.  Then, he forms his burgers and places them in the oven.    He builds his burgers on a whole wheat bun, with guacamole, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and cilantro.  He serves it with baked “sweet potato fries”.  This is a delicious and very healthy alternative to a traditional hamburger made with meat.  Try it and Enjoy.
