Sweet Potato And Chickpea Patties Recipes

SWEET POTATO CHICKPEA PATTIES (BLW)

Steps:

• Dry roast the chickpea flour in a small dry skillet, until fragrant and begins to change colour (about 5 minutes). Set aside in a small bowl.
• Wash the sweet potato, pierce with a fork and wrap with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 8-9 minutes. Start with 4 minutes and then do an additional 4-5 minutes.
• Carefully cut the sweet potato in half and scoop out the flesh and set it aside.
• Drain and add half a cup of chickpeas to the food processor. Pulse until it breaks down to a coarse texture. Add in curry powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, flax egg, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast. Pulse a few more times till everything is well blended.
• Let the mixture set in the fridge for about 30 minutes, this will make it easier to shape.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking tray with parchment.
• Lightly grease your hands and shape the mixture into patties. Transfer the patties to the baking tray and brush with olive oil. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until lightly golden, flipping halfway through.
• While the patties are in the oven, add all the sauce ingredients to a blender and blend to form a smooth sauce.
• Serve patties warm or at room temperature along with the dipping sauce.
