These Chickpea Sweet Potato Peanut Burgers have an asian twist to them. Served with Almond Sriracha Sauce (use Peanut butter or seed butter for variations) . Vegan Recipe Can be made soy-free, gluten-free. Makes 6 to 8 patties
Whats Fall without some sweet potato burgers!. Sweet Potatoes, chickpeas and peanuts with Asian flavors and topped with my almond Sriracha Sauce yum.
You can also serve just the patties with the Almond butter Sriracha sauce, cilantro and sauteed greens in a platter. Peanut butter works equally well in the sauce. You know you have to make these. And with the Almond Butter Sriracha Sauce. The Sauce brings out the flavor profile of the patties!
It is one of those days, when I wonder how much to write on the blog. Talk about all the things that are not working well now or just let the post be. Lets just let the post be 🙂

October 16, 2014 at 8:20 amOh wow! Sweet potato burgers are my favorite type of veggie burger, probably because I am not much of a mock meat person. There’s a restaurant in DC that makes a sweet potato oat burger that’s my current #1.
Richa says
October 17, 2014 at 7:37 pmAwesome ! i like them in a burger with asian or indian spices. makes a perfect flavor profile!

Richa says
May 2, 2016 at 10:09 amThose are some gf buns i was playing around with. they didnt turn out as I wanted them to, so no recipe.
Vanessa @ VeganFamilyRecipes says
October 17, 2014 at 3:42 amWow! your pictures are stunning and the almond butter Sriracha sauce sounds delicious. I’ll have to try this out. Pinning now 🙂
Richa says
October 17, 2014 at 7:36 pmthanks! Let me know when you do!
Patricia says
October 17, 2014 at 7:29 pmMade these today with the Almond Sriracha sauce! The burgers are delicious and the sauce amazing! The wonderful mix of flavors was delicious without being overpowering! My biggest challenge was finding raw organic peanuts. In the end I had to go with the Raw Tiger Peanuts I had in my pantry. They are pretty expensive so I wasn’t planning on using them for something I had never tried before but…….these were perfect. Great Recipe will definitely make these again!
Richa says
October 17, 2014 at 7:36 pmAwesome! so glad it turned out well! You can order peanuts online or get them at an indian store. they are much cheaper there.

Jaya Kawale says
November 19, 2014 at 11:30 pmHi Richa,
This looks so yummy that I am tempted to try it right away. One of the problems that I encounter in baking the burger in general is that it breaks apart quickly . Do I need to add more chickpea flour or breadcrumbs ?
Thanks for the great recipe!
Jaya
Richa says
November 20, 2014 at 1:12 amFor baked burgers you want to do the following for less crumbly burgers.
1. mash the ingredients well and use finely chopped veggies. larger veggies or beans make the patties crumbly.
2. keep the dough moist. dryer dough that doesnt come together easily will dry out even more during baking. This burger is very moist. so not a problem.
3. add 1 flax egg( 1 Tbsp flaxmeal in 3 Tbsp water) or more to sub the binding property of egg.
These burgers are very sturdy if you keep the dough moist.
hope this helps.

November 20, 2014 at 7:50 amMade these tonight for dinner-now one of my favourite burgers-Yummo!! Love the blend of flavours, the sauce reminds me of a really tasty satay but better because of the sriracha zing.
Great texture. Thanks for another awesome recipe Richa!
Andrea says
December 28, 2014 at 9:32 pmMy husband and I LOVE these. We only make the patties and are addicted to them. We also made them with black beans once because we didn’t have any chickpeas. So delicious. Thank you for sharing such yummy recipes.
Richa says
December 28, 2014 at 10:05 pmAwesome! so glad they work out with so many different beans!
Hafsa says
July 1, 2015 at 7:30 pmI made these tonight and they were delicious. I subbed out some ingredients. I used powdered, toasted pumpkin seeds instead of the peanuts (because we’ve got that allergy) and cooked red lentils instead of the canned chickpeas. I added spirulina powder and sprouted broccoli powder to the mix as well as a tiny bit of shredded coconut, as a binder. This was excellent. My family loved the burgers (I made them small and we ate them with rice and a tomato based sauce).Thanks, Richa.
Emily says
July 1, 2015 at 8:04 pmmade these for dinner. They were devoured so quickly!!

How do you make that bun though?!
🙂
Richa says
September 29, 2015 at 10:49 amAwesome! that was was a gluten-free bun i was experimenting with. you can try any of the burgers buns on the site http://www.veganricha.com/?s=burger+bun
or use any of the sandwich bread recipes and make then into burger buns. http://www.veganricha.com/category/bread
JK says
November 7, 2015 at 7:47 amThese burgers are exceptionally tasty – an unusual and wonderful combination of flavors, quick and easy to make, healthy ingredients that I feel good about sharing with others, and they stick together no prob! Even the uncooked batter is delicious; I ate at least a burger’s worth right out of the bowl. And why not? No need for an oven, this is great even without the cooking. I’ve made this recipe twice now and really should double or triple it next time, it’s that great. I also love that it uses ingredients I nearly always have on hand. Thank you, thank you again, Richa!
Richa says
November 7, 2015 at 1:17 pmAwesome!!
Laura says
November 17, 2015 at 9:21 amHey Richa! I love these burgers. To save time do you think I could freeze a big batch of them and reheat as needed? Would you recommend freezing before baking or freezing after baking? Thanks so much!!!
Richa says
November 17, 2015 at 10:21 amHi Laura, Veggie/bean burgers should be frozen before baking. Shape the patties and freeze on a baking sheet. when frozen, you can place them in a ziplock or other container, separated by parchment. Remove from freezer and bake or grill.
Laura says
December 6, 2015 at 10:28 amJust made these and they are delicious! I used butternut squash puree instead of sweet potato because that’s what I had on hand, and added 1/8 cup of each bread crumbs and oats (not ground into a flour) since I ended up using 1 whole cup of the puree just to finish off what I had in the fridge. I do have a question for you Richa- how long should you process the peanuts and then chickpeas? Should everything be very smooth, or a bit lumpy? And also do you know if you can make this dough and then freeze the dough? Or should I bake and then freeze the patties? Thanks!!!
Richa says
December 6, 2015 at 12:41 pmthe mixture should be lumpy as the sweet potato or other puree is already adding the smooth ingredient to the patty. so keep the peanuts and chickpeas textured.
Laura says
December 6, 2015 at 10:29 amRicha- I forgot to rate the recipe and I just realized you already responded to my question about freezing them- thanks so much!!! I really appreciate that you respond to individual comments and that you put so much work into your blog and recipes.
Richa says
December 6, 2015 at 12:42 pmGreat. Thanks Laura!!

Richa says

Usha says
April 4, 2017 at 2:47 pmHow do you make the sweet potato puree/mash? Store bought?
Richa says
April 8, 2017 at 9:21 pmI use either. The canned one has a bit more moisture than home made one. For home made, i bake or boil the potatoes, then mash and use.

May 2, 2017 at 7:35 amThis recipe was divine! My family and I made these for dinner! Absolutely wonderful!!! Loving your blog! We are new to your site, and so happy to have found you! #vegans #emmanuelsearthlygoods
Kelly Marble says
May 13, 2017 at 2:47 pmPsyched to make these! Do they work well as leftovers? Usually I’m just cooking for one, but I do love to have leftovers for lunch.
Richa says
May 15, 2017 at 2:07 pmyes. They might soften a bit so pan fry to crisp
Wilma Brown says
September 15, 2017 at 7:53 amI love the recipes you have created . You are not afraid to add heat and flavours – which is amazing.
I enjoyed reading your personal journey with food as well. How wonderful to build on what you have learned from you Mom.
Your Peanut Siracha sauce is a staple sauce which I use on everything.
All of your recipes are excellent and delicious and really bring “zing” and “funky flavours” to plant based eating.
Thank you so much for working so hard to develop your recipes.
I feel very fortunate to have found your blog and of course – I spread the word.
I have purchased many copies of your first book and have given them away ( kept one for me of course). Mmmm!!
Take care of yourself and keep cooking. You are an inspiration.
Richa says
September 15, 2017 at 10:00 pmThank you Wilma! I am so glad you like what I put up on the blog/books! Thank you for sharing the blog and the books! I can’t wait for you to see the second book! 10 more days.
Love
Richa
Maneesha says
April 6, 2018 at 11:21 amBeautiful recipe! I love the asian flavor in these burgers! I used almonds because I did not have peanuts, and I also put some wasabi sauce in the burgers before making the patties. The burgers paired so well with the almond-sriracha sauce ! Thanks for an awesome recipe, Richa! We loved the burgers!
Richa says
April 6, 2018 at 11:27 amoooh nice addition of wasabi!
Maneesha says
October 17, 2018 at 6:28 amHi Richa,
Would it be possible to make these burgers ahead of time and refrigerate/freeze them?
Richa says
October 17, 2018 at 9:52 amyes, most bean chickpea etc burgers are easily freezable. Shape and pack well and freeze on a tray first. once fully frozen, you can put them together n a box or ziploc.
Sherrie Maebrae says
November 19, 2018 at 1:52 pmAny suggestions on what to use instead of oats? Allergy

November 14, 2019 at 1:03 amHi, I did this recipe. It was delicious. However, one of the problems that we encounter in making almond sriracha sauce. I don’t know why it was pretty thick.
Thank you <3
Richa says
November 14, 2019 at 2:33 pmjust thin it out with a bit of water until desired consistency
Penny says
November 23, 2019 at 12:12 pmMy husband & I enjoyed these! Will certainly be making again in a larger batch so as to freeze some for later! The sauce is so tasty I’m tempted to make double for one recipe!!! Thank you! No amending was done to original recipe & didn’t need to add flour for forming patties.

April 16, 2020 at 2:22 pmMade a half batch of these today and it came out to 4 medium size patties, which was perfect for me + partner for a filling lunch. Love the almond butter sauce. I will use the leftovers on noodles tomorrow. Yum. Great recipe, thanks!
