Sweet potato and bean burgers
- Age: 12–18 months (Family food)
- Texture: Family meal
- Prep: 12 min
- Cook: 10 min
- Makes: 2 adults and 2 children
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 400 g tinned kidney beans, rinsed and mashed
- 1 egg
- 6 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 small buns
Contains: Egg, Wheat
Method
- Mix the sweet potato, beans, egg, breadcrumbs and cumin. Shape into burgers — small and flat for your child.
- Cook in the oil 4 minutes a side until firm and golden.
- Serve in buns, or in strips. Salt the adults'.
Safety: Cool your child's portion — the centre holds heat. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Softer than a meat burger and easier for a toddler to bite. Freeze uncooked between sheets of paper.
