Ingredients You Need for Sun-Dried Tomato and Sweet Potato Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 cup dry brown lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 10 turns fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
How to Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato and Sweet Potato Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake the sweet potatoes for 1 hour. Put a few slits in the top of the potato with a knife and place them on a baking sheet or foil to catch any drips.
- While the potatoes are baking, place the lentils and 3 cups of water in a medium sized pan and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to medium and simmer lentils for 30 minutes, until all of the water is absorbed and the lentils are soft.
- While the lentils are cooking, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with enough boiling water to cover them completely. Cover the bowl and let them re-hydrate for 15 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes and lentils are finishing up and the sun-dried tomatoes are hydrating, mince the garlic and sauté in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes until it just starts to get brown. Turn off heat and set aside.
- When the potatoes are soft, scoop out 1 packed cup of potato and place it into the food processor (keep oven at 350°), along with the cooked lentils and re-hydrated tomatoes (strain the water from them first).
- Process the ingredients for a minute or two in the food processor until everything is mixed up and there are no big pieces of tomato.
- Pour this mixture into a mixing bowl and add the garlic, rice flour, black pepper, dried basil, and sea salt.
- Scoop out the mixture a 1/2 cup at a time, and form into 6 equal-shaped patties.
- Place on a lightly-oiled baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes on one side, flip over and bake for an additional 15 minutes on the other side.
