Sweet Potato And Chickpea Veggie Burgers
With everyone on the #plantbased wagon, it’s time for a little lesson: just because it’s a #veggieburger doesn’t mean it’s healthy-many of the frozen brands use additives, preservatives, fillers, sugar and bad oil. You can prevent that by making your own! Try this simple version for allll the Vitamin A and potassium and fiber. Add greens and a #tahini dressing and you’ve got yourself a healthy, balanced meal! P.S. You can make this ahead of time and freeze extras.

- 2 sweet potatos
