• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 egg, whisked
• ½ cup almond flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp sea salt

Caramelized Onions

• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• pinch of salt

Other Additions

• 6 burger buns
• 6 slices cheese
• mashed avocado 
• ketchup, for extra fries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400° F. 
2. Cook the sweet potato fries for 12-15 minutes, until slightly golden and crispy. 
3. Prepare the quinoa patties. Add the black beans to a mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add the remaining ingredients except the oil to the mashed beans and mix until everything is well combined. Form 5 patties with your hand and place them in the fridge.
4. Caramelize the onions in a hot skillet with the avocado oil for 15-17 minutes, stirring often. 
5. Remove the onions from the skillet and add 2 tbsp of avocado oil for the patties. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side over medium heat, flipping carefully so they stay intact. Place the cheese slices on top of the patties and cook covered for 3 minutes over low heat.  
6. Assemble your burgers! Add the patty, caramelized onions, a small handful of sweet potato fries and mashed avocado under the top bun. Serve with sweet potato fries and a side of ketchup. Enjoy!
