Sweet potato burgers

2 cans cannellini white beans, drained (white kidney beans)
1 large sweet potato, baked/peeled/mashed (about 2 cups)
2 Tbsp tahini
2 tsp maple or agave syrup
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning (salted)
1/4 cup almond or brown rice flour
g.f.bread crumbs
optional: additional seasoning (whatever you have on hand - I used a few dashes cayenne, black pepper)

olive oil for pan

burgers: avocado, g.f bread, romaine, onion, olive oil, pepper

Directions:

1. Bake sweet potato. Peel, place in large mixing bowl.
2. Add drained beans to mixing bowl. Mash beans and potato together.
3. Mash in seasoning, flour and any additional seasoning. Your mixture will be quite soft and moist. But you should be able to form a patty. Add more flour - or dry rice to thicken the mixture if needed.
4. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat.
5. Form a patty from mixture and coat in g.f. bread crumbs. Thick coating. Then drop the patty in the pan. Repeat until the pan is filled. Cook until browned on both sides. You could also bake. If baking, use less bread crumbs.
6. Transfer cooked patties to paper towel. Cool for a few minutes.
7. Serve on toasted bun with lotsa toppings.

Note: yes this patty does fall kind of apart as you eat it. But that is OK because it tastes yummy.
