I've always been a fan of black bean burgers, but I wanted to create a recipe that was more flavorful and satisfying. I started by adding sweet potato to the mix, which gave the burgers a delicious sweetness and moisture. Then I added green bell pepper, red onion, and carrots for crunch and freshness. Finally, I seasoned the burgers with cumin and chili powder to give them a warm and flavorful kick. The result is a vegetarian burger that is packed with flavor and nutrients.
