Step 1.
For the quick pickle cucumber: Place the vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the cucumbers, stir to combine and then set aside to pickle while you prepare the burgers.
-
Step 2.
For the veggie patties: Cut the kumara in half lengthways and place in a steamer over simmering water, cut side down. Steam for 15-20 minutes or until tender, then set aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh of the kumara and discard the skin.

Step 3.
Bring a medium frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes or until translucent. Add the paprika and cook for a further minute or until fragrant. Remove from the heat.
-
Step 4.
Place the oats in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend the oats into a fine flour. Add the kumara, onion mixture and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper and pulse until well combined. Add the black beans, corn and coriander and pulse a few times until the mixture is just combined.* Shape the mixture into 4 patties and place each patty on a square of baking paper.
-
Step 5.
Bring a large frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place the patties in the pan paper side up. Remove the paper and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned.
-
Step 6.
Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup on the base of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, a veggie patty, pickled cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Spread the guacamole on the top bread bun and place it on top. Serve and enjoy.

*Note:
When making your patties, ensure that you pulse gently once the black beans have been added to prevent puréeing the mixture. Leaving chunks of beans and corn add a great texture to these patties.
