  1. 1

    Put the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

  2. 2

    Mash the sweet potatoes, kidney beans, onion, and garlic together until the mixture holds together. Stir in the salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Add the cooked quinoa and mix to combine. Form the mixture into patties.

  3. 3

    Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in the hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
