These veggie burgers are a delicious and healthy way to get your fill of vegetables. They're made with sweet potatoes, quinoa, spinach, cranberries, parsley, cilantro, cumin, and salt. The sweet potatoes provide sweetness and bulk, the quinoa adds protein and fiber, and the spinach, cranberries, parsley, and cilantro add flavor and nutrition. The cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor, and the salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. These burgers are easy to make, and they can be cooked in a variety of ways.

I've always been a fan of veggie burgers, but I've never been a fan of the ones that are made with beans or lentils. I find them to be too mushy and bland. I wanted to create a veggie burger that was hearty and flavorful, but also healthy. I started by experimenting with different vegetables, and I finally settled on a combination of sweet potatoes, quinoa, spinach, cranberries, parsley, cilantro, cumin, and salt. This combination of ingredients gives the burgers a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. I've been making these burgers for years, and they're always a hit with my family and friends.
