  • ¾ cup60 gOld-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 large50 gEggsbeaten
  • 1¾ tsp4 gPaprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 1 tsp2 gGround cumin
  • ½ tsp3 gSalt
  • ½ tsp1 gBlack pepper
  • 2 tbsp30 gOlive oil

  • 1 whole200 gAvocadodiced
  • 2 medium246 gTomatoesseeded and diced
  • ½ cup chopped8 gFresh cilantrochopped
  • ½ lime, juiced22 gLime juice

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two sheet pans with parchment.
  2. Toss the sweet potato with one third of the olive oil and spread on one pan; roast 15 minutes while you make the patties.
  3. Heat another third of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the mushrooms and onion 6–7 minutes until browned and dry, adding the garlic for the last minute. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, mash the pinto beans coarsely. Stir in the mushroom mixture, oats, egg, paprika, cumin, half of the salt and the black pepper. Rest 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
  5. Shape the bean mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick, place on the second pan and brush the tops with the remaining olive oil.
  6. Flip the sweet potato and bake both pans 20 minutes, turning the patties halfway, until the patties are crisp at the edges and reach 160°F (71°C) in the center and the sweet potato is tender.
  7. Meanwhile, gently combine the avocado, tomato, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining half of the salt for the salsa.
  8. Arrange the sweet potato rounds on plates, set a patty on each and spoon the avocado-tomato salsa on top.
