Sweet Potato and Kale Patties with Flaxseed

Step by step

Method

1. 01

   Peel and dice the sweet potato. Steam or boil until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and mash in a large bowl.

2. 02

   In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a gel-like 'flax egg'.

3. 03

   Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan. Add the finely chopped kale and sauté until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Add the wilted kale to the mashed sweet potato.

4. 04

   Add the flaxseed mixture, rolled oat, egg, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and ground paprika to the sweet potato and kale mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and a cohesive mixture forms.

5. 05

   Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties, about 2-3 cm thick.

6. 06

   Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

7. 07

   Serve the sweet potato and kale patties warm.
