Lunch tiiiiiime.
OH! Patti! Were you the one that asked me for this recipe? I think you did. If not, someone did, so here it is.
Spices were eyeballed, but everything else I actually measured so I would be able to replicate it. I learned my lesson after whipping together some cookies, not measuring, and then never being able to make them again. It was fine, though. I ate them all myself and didn’t share so I could fully appreciate them. We had a moment.
Anyway, these are delicious, easy to throw together, and reheat well from frozen. Because that matters to some people.
Sweet potato black bean sliders
Ingredients
- 2 cups black beans
- 2 cups sweet potato
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 3 oz monterey jack cheese
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- spinkle of crushed red pepper
- bunch of cilantro, chopped
- juice of two limes
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
Method
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix together beans, sweet potato, and spices in a large bowl.
- Add egg, then stir in cheese and bread crumbs.
- Squeeze in one lime and stir in a handful of cilantro (omit the cilantro if you’re a heathen).
- Coat a baking sheet in cooking spray, form sliders by hand, and plop ‘em in the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (until brown on bottom), flip, and cook for another 15-20 minutes (until brown on bottom).
- While sliders are baking, mix together yogurt, handful of cilantro, and juice from remaining lime. Again, if you’re a heathen, I imagine using some diced jalepeño would be quite enjoyable.
- Serve warm (or cold!) with yogurt sauce.
By my hand, this made 16 sliders.
