Baked Sweet Potato Falafel

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Grease a baking sheet.

Puncture sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Cook in microwave on High for 5 minutes. Flip and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 3 to 5 more minutes; cool. Peel skin off and cut sweet potatoes into large chunks.

Mash garbanzo beans with a fork or potato masher in a bowl.

Stir sweet potatoes and egg into mashed garbanzo beans to form a smooth consistency.

Stir 2 cups flour, garlic powder, cumin, and coriander into sweet potato mixture to form a cookie dough consistency. Adjust with more flour if necessary.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten balls into patties.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes.
