Smokey Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Brown Rice Veggie Burgers or Meatballs

 You might remember the meatball version from a pre-pandemic CUCC Christmas party.  The Smiths repurposed these Thanksgiving weekend fancy burgers into meatball format to feed a crowd.  Not only are these plant-based... they are gluten free!

Here's the recipe from She Likes Food.

The recipe makes 6  large burgers or a large dish of meatballs.

The curry cilantro mayo is important!

Do be sure to chill the burgers/meatballs for 20 minutes (step 3) whether or not you choose to grill them.

Substitutions

For the burger mix, we replaced the garlic powder with 1 large garlic clove.

For the roasted sweet potatoes, we replaced the garlic powder with 3 medium cloves.

For the curry cilantro dipping sauce, we replaced the veganaise with plant-based plain yogurt to get a tangier contrast.
