This bean burger is full of fibre and healthy vegetables, with a hint of Mexican influence. Roast green capsicum is sliced finely and serve as a relish on bean burgers loaded with salsa, mayo, greens and melted cheese.
These bean burgers are deliciously easy. To create our patties we'll combine soft sweet potato with canned four bean mix, parsley, carrot, onion and paprika, cumin and garlic powder.
Fry them on either side, then place in the oven for 10 minutes.
To create our green pepper salsa just grill green capsicum under a hot grill until the skin blackens, then set aside to cool. Remove the skin and seeds, dice, then season with salt and pepper. The flavour of the capsicum will intensify by roasting and the salt will bring out the flavour.
Toast cheese on a bun and serve your burger loaded with mayonnaise, salsa, greens and the patty.
