Make the Hawaiian Burger Patties: Preheat oven to 400°. Toss sweet potato with oil and arrange in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Place in oven and cook until tender, about 20 minutes, flipping about halfway through. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Place sweet potatoes, beans, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, soy sauce, cumin and cayenne into food processor bowl and pulse until finely chopped and well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Shape into 4 patties.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches if needed, place patties into skillet and cook until browned on bottoms, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5 minutes more, until browned on opposite sides.
Make the Pineapple Topping: Add a bit more oil to the skilllet and arrange pineappple rings in skillet, working in batches if they don’t all fit. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until tender.
Make the Barbecue Sauce: While sweet potatoes roast, stir all barbecue sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes thick and saucy, about 15 minutes.
Stuff buns with Hawaiian burger patties. Top with barbecue sauce, pineapple rings and toppings of choice. Serve.
