Preheat the oven to 180C. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and place them on a baking tray together with the garlic cloves. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and roast for about 30 minutes until soft, leave to cool.

Once cool, scoop out the potato flesh into a large bowl and squeeze in 1 garlic clove. Keep the remaining 2 cloves to make the sauce. 

Add in the black beans, egg, breadcrumbs, flour, salt, paprika and cumin, mix well. 

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan. Form the potato and bean mixture into 4 equal patties and fry about 5 minutes on each side until crispy and golden. 

To make the garlic sauce: Mix the yoghurt with remaining 2 roasted garlic cloves, a pinch of salt and pepper. 

Toast the buns and assemble the burgers using green leaves, tomato and red onion slices and garlic sauce, delicious!
