Delightful crispy patties made with sweet potatoes and red lentils, perfect for family meals and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free flour)
- Oil for frying
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in water until they’re tender, then drain and mash.
- Rinse the red lentils and cook them in a separate pot until soft, about 15-20 minutes.
- Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked lentils, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and flour in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
