Sweet and savory are two ways to describe this delicious sweet-potato, tempeh burger! The sweet potatoes make the burger slightly sweet, while the spices make it savory.
Veggie burgers can be made in so many different ways. Different kinds of beans, grains, potatoes, and spices will provide unique textures, tastes, and consistencies to the burgers.
Tempeh, a fermented soy food, is the bean used in this burger recipe. Tempeh is a good source of both protein and fiber.
Serve the burger on a whole grain bun, a bed of greens, or cooked quinoa! Top it with roasted veggies and avocado slices and enjoy!

1-1.5 cups cooked sweet potato
1 package tempeh (8 oz)

1-2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons garlic powder
