Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed

Flavor Enhancers

  • 3 tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 3 Green Onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin

Binding and Cooking Agents

  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

    Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain and mash them until smooth. This creamy base is the heart of your patties.

  2. Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the black beans, lime juice, green onions, garlic powder, cumin, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until well-combined, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.

  3. Shaping the Patties

    Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into patties of your desired size. Aim for about 1 inch thick to ensure even cooking. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for cooking.

  4. Cooking

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. This step is crucial for adding that delectable crunch.

  5. Serving

    Once cooked, transfer the patties to a serving platter. They are ready to be garnished and served hot, perfect for any occasion.

Notes

  • Let the Mixture Chill: Chilling the patty mixture for 30 minutes can help them hold together better while cooking.
  • Use Fresh Lime: Freshly squeezed lime juice elevates the flavor; bottled juice can lose some of its zest.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet: Cook in batches to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior for each patty.
  • Add Texture: Consider mixing in nuts or seeds for added crunch and flavor.
  • Taste and Adjust: Always taste the mixture before cooking and adjust seasoning as needed for maximum flavor.
