2. Toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil on first prepared tray and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn once during cooking. While potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and carrot for 2–3 minutes, until soft.
3. Add tomato paste, South American spice mix and tomato sauce to pan and cook a further 1 minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with black beans and kidney beans. Mash beans using a potato masher, then fold through lemon zest and juice, salt, egg and oats until combined.
4. Sprinkle flour over a clean board. Using clean hands, split bean mixture into 6 even portions. Roll mixture into balls then place onto board. Press down to form patties about 2cm-thick then sprinkle tops with a little extra flour. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat.
5. Cook patties for 2–3 minutes each side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to one side of second prepared tray. Slice burger buns horizontally through the centre and place, closed, beside patties. Sprinkle feta evenly over patties and bake for 4–5 minutes, until buns are warmed through and toasted.
