Wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into thick slices, and place them on the baking sheet. Season with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and spices if you like. Roast in the oven for about until tender and lightly golden.

Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Mash the avocado in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.

Toast the whole-grain buns in a skillet.

Cut the vegetables into thin slices.

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, assemble your burgers. Spread guacamole on the bun, add the roasted sweet potato slices, the vegetables, and a spoonful of vegan mayonnaise. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve your oven-baked sweet potato burgers hot.

Chef's tip

To add extra flavor to your sweet potato burger, add slices of grilled bell pepper and a little arugula 🌶️🥬. You can also add a drizzle of sriracha sauce for a spicy touch 🌶️.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Cooked sweet potato patties freeze very well, up to 2 months in individual freezer bags. Thaw, then reheat.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Cooked sweet potato patties keep 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. Assemble the burger just before serving, as avocado browns quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The sweet potato patties can be made and the vegetables cut the day before. Cut the avocado at the last minute to prevent oxidation.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Patties: Ideal 10-15 min in the oven at 180°C or in the air fryer for a crispy exterior. Microwave is not recommended (softens the texture). The buns can be lightly toasted.

Variations

Add a black bean or chickpea patty.
Replace the guacamole with hummus.
Add sun-dried tomatoes or pickled red onions.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the sweet potato slices too thin: they burn. Cut them thick so they stay tender.
Making the guacamole too early: it turns brown. Add a little lemon and make it just before serving.
Serving the bun cold: the burger lacks crunch. Toast the bun in a skillet.

Frequently asked questions

Is this burger vegan?

The main ingredients are plant-based: sweet potato, avocado and vegan mayonnaise. Just check the label on the burger bun, which may contain milk or eggs, to confirm that the burger is vegan.

How do you cook sweet potatoes in the oven?

Cut them into thick slices, season with olive oil, salt, pepper and spices, then roast them on a baking sheet at 200 °C until tender and lightly golden, turning them halfway through.

How do you make good guacamole?

Mash the ripe avocado with a fork, season with salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of lemon to keep it from turning brown. Make it at the last minute, while the sweet potatoes finish cooking in the oven.

Which vegetables should you add to the burger?

Lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, cucumber or fresh sprouts. Cut them into thin slices so the burger stays easy to eat, and add a spoonful of vegan mayonnaise.
