So a good friend of mine and I were talking the other day about healthy foods we like to make. And if came up that her family liked some sweet potato/white bean burgers she likes to make. So I ran with the idea and came up with these Sweet Potato and Chickpea Burgers with Curry Basil Aioli.
Every ingredient I used was gluten free including the buns and bread crumbs, but if you not gluten free you can use a gluten “filled” version.
I went with an Indian flavor profile, but it was not overwhelming, so no need to worry about that. When I served them for dinner they were paired with Roasted Cauliflower (and I will have that recipe up this week, too).
I hope you enjoy them, I think they were very good and a great change to the regular chicken or beef burgers (which I LOVE, too!!)
