Receta Sweet Potato Tahini Burgers
I was super excited about this tahini crusted chicken I made the other week…until I ate it. I don’t know why I keep buying boneless skinless chicken breasts. They are so…white meat. The tahini crust was excellent but the chicken part was…chicken. So I’m not sharing that meal with you.
But if you’re still craving that tahini flavor without the hummus (because be honest, when do you ever use tahini?), then I’ve got a solution. Vegetables have so much more flavor than boring old boneless skinless tasteless chicken breasts. These veggie burgers are packed with sweet potatoes, great northern beans (those are the same as cannellini beans, right?), and scallions.
I ate them over a bed of greens one night. I put them in a wrap with some guacamole later that same night. Yes. I had dinner twice that day. Crap. They are both really good and really easy to put together. I didn’t even get out of my food processor.

Sweet Potato Tahini Burgers (adapted from Healthy Happy Life)
Ingredients
- 1 can cannellini white beans, drained
- 1 large sweet potato, baked/peeled/mashed (about 2 cups)
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning OR Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If your potato isn’t cooked, just go ahead and cook it in the microwave for 5-7 minutes until soft. Mash.
Combine all ingredients and mash with a fork until evenly distributed and pretty smooth. Some whole beans are okay.
Spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray or use a nonstick stone.
Form veggie burgers by grabbing about 1/3 cup of the mixture and patting into a circle in your hands. It will be sticky but that’s okay. Lay on cooking sheet and repeat until all the mixture is gone.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firmed.
