Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender, drain and let cool.

In a small skillet, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and place over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a food processor, add black beans and cooled sweet potatoes, pulse a few times until “mashed” but not pureed. Remove from food processor and place in a large bowl.

Add onion/garlic mixture, flax meal, bbq sauce and salt. Mix until well combined.

Using your hands, form into burgers. (using about 1/4 – 1/3 of mixture for each burger)

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Place burger in skillet and let cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or crispy and warmed through.

These burgers can be served on a salad or as a sandwich! Top with avocado, salsa, cheese and/or sprouts, enjoy :)
