Sweet Potato Burgers Avocado Salsa and Garlic Spread #RSC

"Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. As summer winds down and tailgate season heats up I wanted to create a recipe reminiscent of grilling out as we moved into fall! Sweet potatoes are such a fall food for my family and I love putting a healthy spin on a plain old burger with this unique recipe!"

  • Rinse sweet potatoes in cold water, wrap in Reynolds Wrap Foil and poke several times with a fork.
  • Bake for 1 hour (or more) depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Take 2 bulbs of garlic, chop off about 1/4 inch of the tops, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in Reynolds Wrap Foil.
  • Garlic can cook 30-35 minutes with Sweet Potatoes.
  • Remove garlic and sweet potatoes from oven and allow to cool.
  • Once cool, mash cannellini beans in a large bowl with sweet potatoes.
  • Add in spices, egg, and panko.
  • Mix all of these ingredients together and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help stiffen for burgers.
  • Meanwhile mix the sour cream with the 2 roasted bulbs of garlic, squeezed for all the good stuff, honey, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Take avocado and chop into bite size chunks and in a small ball combine with sweet corn, lemon juice and cilantro for topping.
  • Heat a large pan over medium with olive oil.
  • Take sweet potato mixture and shape into 4 patties.
  • Cook on each side approximately 6-7 minutes until patties seem to hold together and flip.

  • Add lettuce, tomato and onions if desired.

  1. One word.....fantastic!
     
  2. My friend shared this recipe with me last night - looks awesome! I would go with the black beans over the white beans, just for preference!
     
  3. I like the idea of a sweet potato burger, definitely a fall dish but the avacado and corn salsa keep everything light and fresh with the honey garlic cream sauce, not too heavy! Can't wait to taste them again next time I make them. Great idea and great recipe!
     
  4. I gave this recipe 3 stars because the concept was good. But nowhere does it say to drain the beans and because it has very little moisture in it I did not!!!! WRONG they came out mushy ! Also what temperature to cook them on? In order to dry them out I used med high-they burned Hubby said they were alittle bland and because I only used half of the recipe and I plan on adding some stuffing to the mushy mess tonight in hopes of correcting it.
     
  5. Yummylicious!
