Sweet Potato Falafel (serve with homemade cous-cous) 

Ingredients (Makes 10-12 falafel) 

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes 

  • 2 tins of chickpeas 

  • 1 tsp dried parsley 

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika 

  • 1 tsp ground fenugreek 

  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 

  • 6 tbsp plain flour 

  • Salt and pepper

​

Vegetable or rapeseed oil (for shallow frying) 

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Peel and dice your sweet potatoes into small chunks. Place on a baking tray, drizzle on a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes. Once ready, set aside to cool.

  2. Drain, wash and dry your chickpeas. Add the chickpeas to a. food processor and partially blitz. You want the chickpeas chunky and not purified! 

  3. Add the chickpeas and sweet potato to a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Shape into 10-12 falafels. 

  4. Heat a large deep frying pan and add enough rapeseed or vegetable oil to allow for shallow frying. 

  5. Shallow fry for 3-4 minutes each side or until lovely and crispy. 

  6. I recommend serving with homemade cous-cous.
