Sweet Potato Falafel

Sweet Potato Falafel

A lighter, sweeter version of classic falafel. It's a great snack on its own or served as a mezze with bread, olives, dips, and vegetables. 

Method

Preheat oven to 375. Wrap sweet potatoes in foil and bake until soft, about 1.5 hours. Remove from oven and cool about 10 min. Remove skins and mash potato in a bowl. Set oven to 325.

Add remaining ingredients to bowl with potato and mix well.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop potato mixture into small balls. Bake 30 min.

Pairs well with fresh vegetables, bread, olives, hummus, and this spread.
