It's tricky to find a decent veggie burger up here in Scotland, so we decided to make our own. I love anything with pumpkin, sweet potato or butternut squash in and these were some of the best burgers I've ever had. They're really easy to make and you can whip up a batch in just under 30 minutes (if you use the microwave option), so they're great for a quick meal. (Serves 4)

Instructions

    Pop two slices of bread in a blender and blitz to make breadcrumbs. Bake in a hot oven for 5-10 minutes until golden.

    Bake your sweet potatoes. If you have time, you should do this in the oven as it'll make it taste better, or you can blitz them in the microwave for 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes and mash together in a large bowl with the kidney beans.
