Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers

These are simple to make and my favorite veggie burger so far (I am always searching for new ones!)  They have a sweetness from the sweet potato, with plenty of spice and freshness from the herbs. They truly pack a flavorful punch. I bake the sweet potato ahead of time, and use whatever beans I happen to have in the house. They’re always delicious and a favorite dinner of ours.
