SMOKY SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Please See Other Recipes

When most people think of vegan diets, they think of strict, ultra-healthy eating. In reality, for a lot of vegans, this is not at all the case… We eat processed and junk food too!
And I realised I’ve been relying on it a little too much lately, particularly with soy burgers, which are a summer BBQ staple for me.
So instead of processed soy burgers, which despite being very convenient and not a bad substitute, I have chosen to start making my own from now on, which are not only healthier but so so so much tastier!
