Award-winning sweet potato veggie burgers

Check out these beautiful sweet potato veggie burgers! When the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission hosted a recipe contest, vegan blogger Nikki Haney stepped up to the task to create the winning entry - a vegan sweet potato veggie burger. Genius!

Even Oprah's people loved these burgers. Guest judge Kate Rockwood, Senior Editor at O Magazine, said, "This veggie burger rocked because it had a nice crust and firm texture. The sweet potato and kale layered sweet and bitter beautifully, and the onion topping was spot-on. This will be my go-to burger for spring." Congrats, Nikki!

I bet these would be delicious with a bit of barbecue sauce instead of ketchup. My mouth is watering.
