Turn these sweet potato patties into a complete meal with a hearty salad like our arugula and wild rice salad, crispy kale salad with beets, or roasted broccoli salad with lemons and almonds. We make them with roasted sweet potatoes, almond flour, chives, and panko. Panko is our go-to breading ingredient for a perfectly crunchy exterior every time. We pan fry them until golden using real butter, because butter makes everything better. We can’t exactly call these healthy, but with only real ingredients, it’s a great way to eat more vegetables. And they taste way better than any store-bought alternative. They’re also packable, kid-friendly, and great for snacking, sandwiches, breakfast, or in bowls.
Sweet potatoes – the sweet taste of yams make up the base of these patties. Just make sure not to overcook them or they will be too mushy to form into patties. Olive oil – lightly coating the sweet potatoes before baking them helps to lock in moisture. Almond flour – almond flour is nutritious and completely gluten-free! Chives – for a mild onion flavor. Sea salt + black pepper – for seasoning. Garlic – adds its distinct pungent flavor and balances out the sweetness. Panko – we love panko in place of traditional breadcrumbs because it never fails at giving everything it touches a perfectly crunchy texture. Butter – using butter for frying adds lots of flavor.
Here’s what you’ll need for the lemon sauce:
Yogurt – a thick, plain Greek yogurt makes the base of this creamy sauce. Lemon – both lemon juice and zest add lots of bright citrusy flavor. Cilantro – for a pop of green and fresh flavor. Sea salt + black pepper – for seasoning.
They’re also the perfect side dish to almost any main like our salmon with lemon dill sauce, herbs de provence chicken, or strawberry avocado grilled balsamic chicken salad.
