My recent order from Relay Foods left me with a bunch of sweet potatoes [I’m not complaining!] so I was searching for different ways to prepare them. I found tons of sweet potato burger recipes on Pinterest, including this one from The Lean Green Bean, which I thoroughly enjoyed last week.
This totally inspired me to figure out another burger recipe. I’ve also been trying to cut back on grocery costs so I loved being able to stretch all of my ingredients in burgers. Not to mention, they’re so versatile!
Chipotle Lime Sweet Potato Tofu Burgers

– 1 large sweet potato; steamed
– 1 12oz. container extra firm tofu; drained and pressed

Enjoy on a bun with lettuce, tomato, & onion or over a bunch of roasted vegetables. Always top with avocado or guacamole.. it practically completes the burger!

yum! these look awesome!
Thank you! And thanks for being my inspiration for these 🙂
These look amazing – I’m so glad you linked up today. That chipotle flavor is one of my favorites, and so good against the sweet potato!
Thanks so much! I absolutely love chipotle and sweet potato too. Or, really anything with sweet potato 🙂
Yummmy!
🙂
These sound really good! I have heard of sweet potato burgers and black bean burgers but sweet potato tofu is new.
Thank you! I love the different texture that the tofu gives it as compared to the beans.
Sweet potatoes AND tofu in burger form?? Yum! These look and sound SO delicious :).
Thank you! Let me know if you try them 🙂

I’ve now made this recipe twice and I have to say, they taste AMAZING but I can’t get them to hold together! The first time, I thought maybe it was because I prepped the burgers the night before so that all I’d have to do when I got home from work is bake them, but the second time I made everything fresh and baked them right away and still had trouble. Any ideas?
I’m wondering if they’re too dry or too moist? If too dry, try a larger sweet potato and if they’re too moist, add a little extra coconut flour.
I’ll have to experiment a little more — I can form them into patties but when I go to flip them, they crumble to pieces. I’ll start by trying a little extra sweet potato and see if it gets better or worse. Thanks for the suggestions! Like I said, I love the recipe, if I can just get it to cooperate 🙂
