Sweet potato and bean burgers

Sweet potato and bean burgers

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

  1. Mix the sweet potato, beans, egg, breadcrumbs and cumin. Shape into burgers — small and flat for your child.
  2. Cook in the oil 4 minutes a side until firm and golden.
  3. 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.
