Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Cook the sweet potato in a steamer over a saucepan of simmering water for 10 mins or until tender. 

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in a large bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until almost smooth. Add the sweet potato and seasoning and mash until smooth and combined. Divide into 4 even portions. Shape into 8cm patties and place on a plate. Place in the fridge for 15 mins or until firm.

  3. Step 3

    Place patties on a baking tray. Bake, turning halfway through cooking, for 20 mins or until heated through.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the cut sides of each bread roll with dressing. Place roll bases on serving plates and top with avocado, burger patties, tomato, onion and spinach and rocket. Drizzle with extra dressing. Season with pepper and top with the roll tops to serve.
