Author:These yummy Sweet Potato Falafel are vegan, gluten-free, healthy, nutrient-rich and easy to make - perfect as side dish or snack! ;-)
Ingredients
- 17.6 oz sweet potatoes unpeeled weight
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 x 14 oz can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- ¾ cup chickpea flour
- 1 handful of fresh parsley & coriander
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- black pepper to taste
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- oil for baking and brushing
- sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 356°F top/bottom heat (320°F fan).
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes to 1 cm slices and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place sweet potato slices on it. Bake for about 30 minutes. Then, remove from the oven and allow to cool a little.
- Mash the baked sweet potato slices with all remaining ingredients (except sesame seeds) into a dough. The dough should be easy to form. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour.
- Form the mixture into balls and flatten them a little.
- Brush your falafel balls with a bit of olive oil and coat with sesame seeds from all sides.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30 minutes. Flip after 15 minutes.
- Serve your falafel with side dishes and dips of your choice, for example in a buddha bowl with “spicy hummus” or “ajvar dip” or on top of burgers with “hummus” and “guacamole“.
- Enjoy!
