The inspiration for these Sweet Potato and Chickpea Burgers came to me one day when I was looking for a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. I had some leftover sweet potatoes and chickpeas in my fridge, so I decided to experiment with them. I combined the two ingredients with some spices, formed them into patties, and pan-fried them until golden brown. The result was a delicious and satisfying burger that was packed with flavor and nutrients.
