Sweet potato quinoa patties

I have made these lovely patties twice now - mainly because I didn't write the recipe down well the first time and had to re-test it. I am definitely not complaining because now my freezer is full of sweet potato patty goodness! 

SWEET POTATO QUINOA PATTIES

1/3C quinoa (regular or tri-coloured will both work)

3 tbsp coconut oil

Medium sweet potato (approx 360g)

3 medium white button mushrooms

5 small Brussels sprouts

2 tbsp quinoa flour

1. Soak quinoa for 1 hour

2. Drain quinoa through a fine sieve

3. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a medium frypan and fry wet quinoa on medium-high, stirring, until toasted. It should pop and smell nutty and should take approximately 10 minutes. Set aside

4. Peel and dice sweet potato, trim and halve mushrooms and Brussels sprouts.

5. Use 1tbsp of the coconut oil to rub all over the vegetables

6. Cook in an airfryer or in the oven at 200°C/390°F for 20 minutes. 

7. Remove Brussels sprouts and mushrooms and cook the sweet potato for a further 20 minutes

8. Cut the mushrooms and Brussels sprouts into a very fine dice

9. Tip all cooked vegetables, toasted quinoa and quinoa flour into a large bowl and mash well. 

10. Using a spoon or spatula, stir the mixture until the flour is well combined

11. Roll a small amount (approx 40g) into a ball and flatten into a patty.

12. Place gently on a plate and repeat until all mixture has been used. 

13. Place patties in the fridge for 15 minutes so that they become firm (optional)

14. Using the same frypan, heat the final tbsp of oil and fry the patties on both sides

Enjoy ❤️

Hot tips!

🔥 Try to cut the sweet potato into evenly sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate

🔥 Freeze remaining patties in sealed containers or bags in between pieces of baking paper/parchment

🔥 To ensure they remain crisp, reheat straight from the freezer in the oven or air fryer at 180°C/350°F for around 7-10 minutes

🔥 Reheat in the microwave for a fast spread for your toast, corn thin or even to top chicken or steak
