Description
Delicious gluten-free patties made with sweet potatoes and red lentils, seasoned with spices for a flavor-packed meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the cubed sweet potatoes. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool before mashing.
- Cook the red lentils: In a separate saucepan, bring more water to a boil and add the rinsed lentils. Cook for about 15 minutes until soft, then drain and mash.
- Sauté onions and garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion turns soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine the mixtures: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, mashed lentils, and the sautéed onion and garlic. Add cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and gluten-free breadcrumbs. Mix until well incorporated.
- Shape the patties: With your hands, take a generous handful of the mixture and shape it into round, flat patties.
- Cook the patties: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and heat over medium-high. Place the patties in the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with yogurt sauce or salsa.
Notes
Make the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month. Can be baked in the oven for a healthier alternative.
