Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup warm water
- 1 medium sweet potato, grated (generous 1 cup)
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 small red onion, minced (about ½ cup)
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 Tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium tamari
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh kale
- 6 to 8 100% whole-grain buns, toasted
- Fixings Choice: sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, grilled pineapple, sauerkraut
Directions
Place the mixture on one piece of parchment paper and place the second piece on top. With a rolling pin, roll out to a ¾-inch thickness. With a 3-inch biscuit cutter (or 3-inch-wide mug), cut out 6 to 8 patties.
Place the formed burgers onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the burgers. Using a spatula, flatten them until they are ½ inch thick. Return the flipped burgers to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until golden brown. They’ll be golden brown and deliciously crispy. Enjoy on toasted, whole-grain buns, alone or with your favorite condiments and plant-strong fixings and a side salad.
