Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil and cook the sweet potatoes for 7-8 minutes, then drain and put into a large mixing bowl. Add the polenta, sweetcorn, onion, garlic, oregano, fennel seeds and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Shape the mixture into 4 patties and coat each one in a little extra polenta. Put the patties on a roasting tray, brush all over with oil, then bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and piping hot throughout. Serve in 4 toasted burger buns with sliced tomatoes, avocado, mustard and vegan mayonnaise.
