Instrucciones

Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Bake

Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until tender and somewhat dried out.

Blend

Combine cooked sweet potato chunks with chickpeas in the bowl of a food processor or in a large bowl. Purée with hand blender, potato masher, or food processor, leaving some parts a little chunky.

Mix

Add in remaining patty ingredients (excluding olive oil) and mix well.

Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large sauté pan. Form sweet potato mixture into 8 patties.

Fry patties in olive oil for about 8-10 minutes, checking regularly to see how they're browning. Carefully flip over and continue cooking another 5-10 minutes, or until patties are browned on each side and have solidified a bit.

Sauce

To make avocado sauce, combine all avocado sauce ingredients and blend using a hand blender or food processor until smooth. You can also mash avocados with a fork and whisk ingredients together. If needed, add more water to thin out sauce, and serve over warm patties.
