Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Cook red lentils in a separate pot with water until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess water to ensure the mixture isn’t too wet.
  3. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked lentils, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Mix in breadcrumbs gradually until the mixture holds together, ensuring a consistency that allows you to form patties.
  5. Form the mixture into patties, about ¾ inch thick for even cooking.
  6. Sauté patties in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  7. Prepare the sauce by blending avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
  8. Serve the patties warm with a generous dollop of creamy avocado cilantro sauce.

Notes

Leftover patties may be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet for approx. 5 minutes on each side.
