Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes enough to make 2 cups mashed
1/4 cup ground flax seed
6 ttbsp water warm
1 19 oz can black Beans 2 cups, drained and rinsed
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups onion 1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup bread crumbs gluten-free if preferred
2 tbsp Jamaican Jerk Seasoning mild or hot
1/2 cup Jerk BBQ Sauce or to taste

Instructions

Turn the oven to preheat to 375F.
Mix the ground flax with the water in a small bowl and set aside to thicken for 5 - 10 minutes.
Prick the potatoes all over, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 8-10 minutes, until soft all the way through. When done, pull the skin off with your fingers , it will come off easily. Be careful, the potatoes will be hot.
Add the black beans to a large bowl and use a fork or a potato masher to mash them up. Add 2 cups of sweet potato to the bowl along with the oats, onion, bread crumbs, jerk seasoning, and the flax mixture. Mix to combine.
Divide the mixture into 8, and form 8 large patties, and put them on the pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes flipping halfway through.
Brush the tops of the hot burgers with a thick layer of jerk BBQ Sauce. Serve them on a bun with all of your favorite toppings.

Notes

To save for later: Let the patties cool completely, then store in an air tight container in the fridge until ready to use. When ready heat up a BBQ and toss the burgers on for just a few minutes on each side to heat through. Brush the tops of the hot burgers with a thick layer of Grace Jerk BBQ Sauce. Pile on a bun with all of your favourite toppings and enjoy.
