  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 patties 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 cup of brown rice flour
  • 34 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 small chili, minced
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1.5 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt, pepper

For the sunflower seed cheese:

  • 1 cup of sunflower seeds, soaked
  • 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • salt, pepper


Instructions

  1. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork or knife, then bake at 200°C/400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until soft (baking time depends on their size). Set aside until cold enough to handle.
  2. Mix together ground flax seeds and 4 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Once sweet potatoes cooled down, peel them, and measure out 2.5 cups of baked sweet potato flesh. Place in a mixing bowl and mash them.
  4. Add flax mix, flour, garlic, chili, nutritional yeast, basil, oregano, paprika, and a large pinch of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Mixture should be moist, but shapeable. Adjust seasoning if needed. Let set in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Make about 12 patties, using an ice cream scoop to portion the sweet potato mix, then flatten them with your hands.
  6. Place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 10-15 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  7. While sweet potato patties are baking, prepare sunflower seed cheese. Place ingredients into a blender or food processor with about 2/3 cup of water, and blend until creamy. Adjust consistency with water if needed (cheese will thicken in the fridge, if you don’t serve it directly).
  8. Serve sweet potato patties warm or cold with sunflower seed cheese on the side. Enjoy!
