Ingredients:
• 1 lime
• 1 red onion, divided
• 1 sweet potato
• 1 ounce baby spinach
• 1 cup black beans
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1⁄4 cup quinoa
• 3⁄4 cup shredded cabbage
• 3⁄4 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1⁄2 cup shredded carrots
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons honey
• avocado
• brioche buns
You will need:
• tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup water
• baking sheet
• potato masher (optional)
• 12″ large nonstick pan
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Halve lime. Peel onion and halve. Cut 1⁄2 into small dice and thinly slice remainder. Rinse sweet potato and cut into 1⁄2-inch dice. Rinse spinach and thinly slice. Rinse black beans.
On a baking sheet, toss diced onion and sweet potato with cumin, paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, transfer to oven, and roast until tender, 12-15 minutes.
While vegetables roast, place quinoa, 1⁄2 cup water, and a pinch salt in a small pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until water is evaporated and quinoa is tender, 10-12 minutes. Remove pot from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, apple cider vinegar, honey, sliced onion, spinach, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper as desired. Halve avocado and discard pit. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out flesh and place in a medium bowl, discarding skin. Add juice of 1 lime. Using a fork, mash until mostly smooth. Season with 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper as desired.
In a large bowl, combine roasted sweet potato-onion mixture and black beans. Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash until mostly smooth. Add quinoa and using your hands, mix well (see Recipe Tip). Divide mixture evenly and form into 2 patties, about 1⁄2-inch thick. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add burgers and sear until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Wipe pan from burgers clean. Halve buns and add to pan over medium heat. Toast until until lightly golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Top bun bottoms with burgers, dividing evenly. Slather avocado mash on top, then add 1-2 tablespoons slaw. Finish with bun tops and enjoy with remaining slaw alongside.
