Why is dill added at two different stages in this recipe?

Adding dill both fried and fresh helps to layer its flavor, with the fried dill offering a mellow, aromatic note and the fresh dill providing a bright, herbaceous finish to the burgers.

What is the purpose of almond flour in these burgers?

Almond flour serves as a gluten-free binder to help form the patties and is also used to coat them, contributing to a pleasant texture and browning when fried.

My burger mixture seems too wet; what can I do?

Ensure your sweet potato is well-cooled and the black beans are thoroughly drained and rinsed. You can add a little more almond flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is firm enough to form patties.

Can I bake these Black Bean, Sweet Potato, Kale, and Dill Burgers instead of frying?

While the recipe specifies frying for a browned exterior, you could try baking them at 375 degreesF (190 degreesC) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, though the texture may vary slightly.

How should I store leftover Black Bean, Sweet Potato, Kale, and Dill Burgers?

Store any leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven.
