Ingredients

Honey Mustard Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup whole-grain Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey 

"Sweet-Pea" Burgers:

2 large sweet potatoes, holes poked with a fork

Two 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 

1 egg, beaten 

1 teaspoon chili powder 

1/4 cup all-purpose flour 

2 cups fine breadcrumbs 

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

Salt and pepper 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

2 tablespoons butter 

To Serve:

6 onion rolls, toasted

Bibb lettuce leaves 

Sliced avocado 

Directions

  1. For the honey mustard sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayo, mustard and honey; mix well.
  2. For the "sweet pea" burgers: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.; line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Set the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake until soft, 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  4. When cool enough to handle, halve the sweet potatoes, then scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with the garbanzo beans. Add the egg, chili powder, flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan and some salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Form the mixture in 6 patties.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and butter, swirling them together. Add the patties to the skillet and cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Serve the burgers on toasted onion rolls spread with honey mustard sauce. Top with lettuce and avocado.

My whole family loves these, even the omnivores. We skip the bun to reduce the carbs and eat them with a fork. They are substantial and yummy!
