About

These tofu, bean and roasted sweet potato burgers are super-satisfying and packed with protein and fibre. Their sweet flavour means they appeal to even the fussiest eaters, and they are easy to make, too. You can make them even tastier by layering them with lots of salad fillings and a dollop of hummus.
