Sweet potato falafels
A tasty twist to an old classic. These sweet potato falafels can be served in wraps, summer bowls or just eaten like that.
Ingredients
Sweet potato falafel
- 1 raw sweet potato peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup brown rice cooked
- ½ cup almonds or any other nut
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup flour
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Pulse the sweet potato through a food processor until finely minced. Add the brown rice/quinoa and almonds and pulse until well mixed and uniform in texture. Add the egg and salt and pulse until mixed. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the flour.
- Form the mixture into balls or patties. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry each falafel for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble all your ingredients in a bowl. Top with the falafels and any dressing.
Notes
Basic olive oil and lemon juice dressing works great, too, if you’re short on time.
You can serve the falafels with:
- heirloom tomatoes
- spinach
- quinoa/brown rice
- roasted corn
- fresh dill
- goat cheese
- Ranch dressing
