directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Set aside to cool.
Heat a saut pan to medium high heat and add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cook mushrooms until water has evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown. Remove and let cool.
In a food processor, mix together the mushrooms, quinoa, panko, egg, spices & potatoes until well combined. Oil hands & form into four flat patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Season w/ salt & pepper
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until they reach a deep golden brown and are cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side.
While they cook, slice up tomatoes & red onion
Top each bun with a dollop of Dijon mustard, burger patty, onion, tomato, arugula, and avocado slices. (squeeze lemon onto avocado) Sprinkle with a little gorgonzola cheese, a crack of black pepper and place on the top bun. Happy Eating!
