Good veggie burgers have become a topic of conversation that is near and dear to our hearts. I tend to choose meatless meals more often than not, and Keith’s daughter has fully converted to a pescatarian diet for nearly a year now. Our family dinner table is surrounded by people with different tastes, preferences and appetites, both meatless and carnivorous. Keith is charged with the daunting task of trying to please us all, in an appetizing and conscientious way.
In an effort to create a dish that would satisfy his diverse brood, Keith developed these sweet potato burgers. They are made with shredded sweet potato, white beans, and lots of savory fall seasonings. These are the most flavorful veggie burgers I have had. The rich sweet potato flavor balances the subtle hit of chipotle, and the texture is firm, not mushy like many standard veggie burgers.
Now don’t get me wrong, these yummy sweet potato burgers do not look or taste at all like a juicy beef burger. They do, however, provide a delicious flavor-packed meal for all discerning tastes. As we move towards a lifestyle that is meat-free some of the time, these burgers are an excellent, protein-filled option. Topped with chipotle mayo and served on a lightly toasted English muffin, these sweet tasting burgers are a meal that our whole family enjoys, despite our varied tastes and dietary restrictions.

We love veggie burgers! We found a new place here in Edmonton that makes the best veggie burger, crispy outside, soft and melt in your mouth inside. The recipe is secret, but I think it has sweet potatoes in it. Yours look fantastic! And the chipotle mayo on top gives that little extra kick.
thanks Nicoletta and Loretto! that burger sounds incredible! Hope ours measures up!!
These burgers are everything I want in a veggie burger!!! They look like they would please vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
Yay for veggie burgers! These will definitely be getting made for my vegetarian household Xx
The combination sounds so good, Jackie. As I am trying to cook meatless once or twice a week, I am collecting wonderful recipes, including this one, to make for my family.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Sounds great going to make tonight for dinner
