Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake 1 sweet potato and 4 slices of pineapple for about 40 minutes.

Slice and cube 1 red pepper.

Wash and chop a small bunch of parsley.

After 40 minutes, take the sweet potato and pineapples out of the oven.

Peel off the skin of the sweet potato and mash it with a fork.

Add 150 grams of cooked quinoa, 80 grams of bread crumbs, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and chili powder to the mashed sweet potato and mix well.

Add 100 grams of sweet corn, 100 grams of kidney beans, red pepper cubes, and chopped parsley to the mixture and combine.

Divide the mixture into four and form round patties using your hands.

Fry the patties in about 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Assemble the burger by spreading barbecue sauce on the bun, placing the patty on top, adding a slice of grilled pineapple, more sauce, and fresh spinach.
