Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the sweet potatoes into thick fries (peel optional). Place on a baking tray and toss with half the paprika, 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until soft and golden.
- Thinly slice 1 onion, and finely dice the remaining onion. Heat a frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, until softened. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- Reheat the pan on medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2 mins. Drain and rinse the beans, then add to the pan along with the chilli flakes (to taste), cumin and remaining paprika. Cook for 3 mins, then add 4 tbsp water and cook for 1 min. Transfer to a mixing bowl with the cheez, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and mash well. Stir in the flour, then set aside to cool.
- Shape the bean mixture into 4 burgers. Wipe the frying pan and reheat with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the burgers and cook for 3-4 mins, on each side, until golden.
- Make the guacamole; roughly mash the avocados with the back of a fork and place in a bowl. Roughly chop the coriander. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Add both to the avocado bowl along with the juice from the lime (to taste) and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well.
- Serve the burgers with fried onions, fries and guacamole on the side.
