Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes in 1 cup of oil. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread sweet potatoes out on pan.

    Conventional oven: 375 °F for 20-25 minutes. Convection oven: 350 °F for 15-20 minutes.

  4. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Lightly coat with pan-release spray.

  5. In a large mixing bowl, add full bag of Adda Veggie Protein Crumbles and soak in 2 cups of water for 5 minutes, stirring halfway.

  6. Stir in Adda Mix and mix well.

  7. Add in roasted sweet potato. Knead the mix by hand to incorporate sweet potato. (Optional: replace 1.5 cups of steamed sweet potato with sautéed spinach).

  8. Using a No. 8 scoop, portion 1⁄2 cup patties. Flatten each patty into an oval shape and place 12 patties on each prepared sheet pan (18′′ x 26′′ x 1′′).

  9. Bake for 15 minutes. Patties will appear slightly browned when ready.

  10. Serve patties on a bun, on top of a salad or on their own with optional toppings.
