Hi guys! It's time for another vegetarian recipe. This Sweet Potato & Lentil Burgers are perfect for healthy lunch and you can take them in your lunchbox to school or work. They taste really good warm, but cold for example in salad are still amazing.

What we love about them is they're crispy outside, but delicate and soft inside. What else, this burgers are baked in oven, so they're not fat and heavy. You may think that potatoes are bad for you, but that's a lie! They are filled with starch, that gives you a lot of energy and provides over 80% of the carbs in your diet. We also made avocado sauce, which fits really good with burgers and adds even more flavour to the dish. Someone can tell vegetarian lunch is not filling, but because of including lentils, you'll feel full and have a great source of protein.

This recipe is quite easy, most challenging work is to peel and dice the sweet potatoes, because they're hard and we're not that strong (we should go to the gym ;D). 

This time we served burgers cold with avocado sauce and a cottage cheese, as a quick lunch. But they will taste great warm with a simple arugula and tomatoes salad, drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice.
