Cherry tomatoes

250 g

Orange sweet potato (kumara)

200 g, cut into cubes

Quinoa

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tbs, chopped, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place zucchini, capsicum and tomatoes on one prepared tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, cook sweet potato in a saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash in a bowl. Cook quinoa, following packet instructions or until tender. Drain. Add quinoa to sweet potato.
  3. Lightly spray a medium non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add to quinoa and sweet potato. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Shape mixture into 4 patties. Place on baking tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, or until golden. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile combine reserved roasted vegetables and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Warm pitas in oven for 2 minutes. Fill each with a burger, roasted vegetables, rocket, sliced red onion and parsley to serve.
