Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 large sweet potato cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 cup red lentils cooked
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs plain
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 1/2 tsp coriander ground
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground
For Cooking
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Fork
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, cooked red lentils, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix all ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to shape.
  4. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Alternatively, you can bake the patties on the prepared baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  8. Let the patties cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
