Ingredients

5 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (medium, finely chopped)
2 clove garlic (minced)
2 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
0.5 cup dairy-free breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.375 teaspoon black pepper
5 whole-wheat burger buns
1 pound sweet potato (peeled and cut into fries)
4 cup pre-shredded coleslaw mix
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss sweet potato fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
While fries are baking, prepare the burgers: In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork until mostly smooth. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté yellow onion and garlic until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add sautéed onion and garlic to the mashed beans. Stir in dairy-free breadcrumbs, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and form into 5 patties.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook black bean patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and heated through.
Prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, maple syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Add the pre-shredded coleslaw mix and toss to combine.
Serve black bean burgers on whole-wheat buns with sweet potato fries and coleslaw on the side.
