Description
Delicious and crispy patties made from sweet potatoes and red lentils, seasoned to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup dried red lentils, rinsed
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- A handful of cilantro or parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ cup flour (all-purpose, chickpea, or gluten-free)
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a pot, add the cubed sweet potatoes and rinsed lentils with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer until both are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain any excess water and mash the sweet potatoes and lentils together in a mixing bowl, leaving some texture.
- Stir in minced garlic, chopped onion, herbs, and spices. Mix until well combined.
- Form mixture into small, round patties—about the size of your palm.
- Dust each patty lightly with flour. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each patty until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Place cooked patties on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For variations, you can bake the patties at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
