Sprouted Quinoa and Sweet Potato Burgers
(GF+V+SF)
Ahh, summer. Warm weather, less layers, and outdoor barbecues with friends and family. It’s gone in the blink of an eye, so I try to savour every moment of it. I’ve been looking for a good vegan, gluten free burger recipe to try, and I ended up combining a few recipes I found to make these. The sprouted quinoa adds a nice texture to the burgers, and a bunch of protein. I love the sweet potato in this, and the mushrooms are fantastic in this as well. The recipe is pretty simple, but does not lack in flavour. In the future, I want to try adding some corn and peas to the mix, and maybe some diced carrots. Feel free to experiment! I think adding a bit of oats or oat flour would also be nice, for consistency but I haven’t tried it yet! These burgers will be a summer favourite- they’re easy to make, and very filling! Also a great addition to the barbecue, although I personally baked mine. Hope you enjoy this one!
