Ever since I wrote my post on Boca Burgers Exposed, I have been looking for homemade veggie burgers recipes. This is not my own recipe. but I make it a lot so I wanted to share it with you. I found it on vegweb. I made a few changes to the original recipe.
These burgers are easy to make, freeze well and a much better alternative to store bought versions. I will typically make a double batch so I can freeze a bunch. Then when you have a busy night with no time to cook dinner, you can whip these out, reheat and serve. Super easy. They are sweet so kids will like them too. I add avocado to the top of mine because avocados make everything better! These would go great with my Healthy French Fries.
Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers
1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1-1 1/2 cups oats (depending on the size of your sweet potato)
2 green onions chopped fine
1 T fresh parsley, chopped
1 T nutritional yeast, optional
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil the sweet potato until tender. Mash the cooked sweet potato. Add the oats and stir in the seasonings. I used my kitchen aid mixer to stir it well. Form the mixture into patties. Line or grease a baking sheet with a bit of oil and put the patties on it. I use a Mr Misto oil sprayer to grease the pan. Works like PAM, but much healthier because you can fill it with whichever oil you choose. No chemicals. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the burgers are a bit crispy on the outside. Enjoy!

Thank you for this recipe! I’m pinning it and will make very soon!
Awesome! Hope you like it.
I made these tonight, but modified them quite a bit. I posted a link at the bottom of my blog page back to here. Please feel free to take a look at my version here: http://healthifiedliving.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/sweet-potato-patties/
Thank you again!
Sure! I saw the blog post. It is a very adaptable recipe. Glad you liked it.

Hello I just made these it tasted great. Only thing was I added a little too much oregano but it was still very good. Making another batch right now to take to work.Thank you
Awesome! I actually omit the oregano and use green onions in it’s place. Tastes great that way too. I love this recipe because these are so easy to stick in the freezer for quick meals.
I made these tonight, and they were delicious! I cooked them in coconut oil on the stove. I thought about putting onions in them, and if I’d ready your comment beforehand, I would have. Next time!
Yay! So glad you liked them! They are great with some green onions! I need to try them your way too. The coconut oil probably gave it some good flavor.

Please start posting nutritional values.
A rough estimate of calories for these burgers would be about 150 calories each.
Can you blend the ingredients all together in a food processor first before baking?
You probably could if you can fit them all in yours. I usually boil the potatoes, puree them and then mix everything together in my kitchen aid. My 7 cup processor could not handle everything at once.
These look so good! Thanks for dropping them by the Favorite Things Party!
Thanks! They are one of my favorite recipes and I always have a stash in the freezer.
I would like to be added for more recipes.
Is this the email you would like to use? I can manually add you if you wish.
I love veggie burgers and usually buy Amy’s brand, but have been itching to make my own. These were so easy and yummy and I no longer feel intimidated to make my own! I also added the onion. I have to ask, was I supposed to add avocados? I noticed you said something about avocados in the blog post but didn’t see it included in the recipe.
Glad you liked them! No, I didn’t add avocados to the burger itself. I just eat the burgers with avocados on top. It’s so good! Try it next time.
These were great! Thank you! SO simple!
Glad you liked them!
These do sound delicious and I love how simple they are to make!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them. They are a favorite of mine.
I absolutely love these! I make them almost every week. A very nice find since most processed veggie burgers contain wheat gluten (never mind all the other unpronounceable stuff!).
Yay! I love them too and they are a staple in our freezer.
Do you freeze the extra batch before or after cooking?
After cooking. I keep them in a zip lock bag in the freezer.
