STOP EVERYTHING! You guys, this is what burger dreams are made of! Since I have gone gluten-free, bread has been a hard thing to replace. Gluten-free bread has come a very long way since I ventured into this lifestyle almost six years ago (Wow! Time flies!), but one thing that I still have a bit of a hard time finding is a good gluten-free bun. There are definitely some decent ones out there, but I wanted to try something different, and something that was a little more plant-based. Naturally, I turn to sweet potatoes because well, they are on my favorite food list for sure!
So, I took a sweet potato that was more rounded instead of oblong… because I figured it would look more bun-ish. I sliced it lengthwise to create a bun shape, drizzled it with olive oil, sprinkled it with salt, and then popped it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Now from one large sweet potato, I got two “buns”. I then just happened to stuff a vegan barbeque burger patty in there and piled on the toppings. My guac to burger ratio is a little off, I just can’t help myself when it comes to guacamole. I think that may be at the top of my favorite food list… I’m going to share with you exactly how to make this superhero of a burger, but first a little burger checklist:
Is it messy? Yes, but what good burger isnt?!
100% Plant-based? You won’t believe it!
Gluten-free? As always
Delicious? Oh heck yeah!
Nourishing even?! Surprise!

If you’re following me on Instagram you know that I was pretty stoked about this recipe, and I think you guys were too! I gave you a little preview of the recipe, but now let’s really dive in and make it happen! I was so excited to use Annie’s Homegrown BBQ Sauce in this recipe, I think you’ll like the flavor it gave these vegan patties.
** Patty recipe inspired by Kim-Julie Hansen from Brussels Vegan
** From 1 large sweet potato, I got 2 "buns". You will get about 10-12 patties, so plan your buns accordingly.

Hello! I’d like to make these tonight. When/how do you use the teff flour? Thanks!
Hi Caroline! Sorry that isn’t clear- I’ll take a look at my directions to clear that up… but I put the teff flour in the large bowl with the rest of the ingredients as the last step before making the patties. Hope that makes sense. Hope you like them! ???
These look so delicious Gina! Anything with guacamole and I’m in!
Aw thank you Jess! Sweet of you to say! And I’m right there with ya on the guac! ????

Made these for dinner today, this was my first time making any sort of veggie burgers and they were sooo good! Love the flavor the liquid smoke gave them (I only used a 1/4 tsp and the flavor was still quite strong) I also baked them instead of frying them, 350 for 25 minutes and they turned out fantastic! Thank you for such an amazing recipe.
I’m so glad and honored your first veggie burger was my recipe! I’m so glad you enjoyed them 🙂 I’ll have to try your modifications, they sound delish! Thank you for your kind comment xo
