Ingredients

1 ½ cup (300 g) cooked lentils
1 cup (200 g) cooked sweet potato mashed (or white potato)
2 - 4 tbsp chickpea flour or all purpose flour (as needed)
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp onion powder
⅓ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you haven't already, cook lentils and sweet potato.
In a large bowl, combine cooked lentils with sweet potato, olive oil and seasonings. Start mixing, adding flour until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency and is no more sticky. Adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
Shape the mixture into 10 patties and place over the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in hot oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. They are ready when gold brown outside and no more wet inside.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or as part of a meal.

Notes

Seasonings: Feel free to add extra seasonings such as dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder or a pinch of turmeric. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your own likings.
Flour: Add flour gradually until you reach a smooth, dough-like texture that holds together well. The exact amount may vary depending on the moisture level in your lentils and sweet potato, as cooked lentils can vary in firmness, and sweet potatoes often contain different amounts of water. Add flour a tablespoon at a time, mixing in between, until the mixture forms a dough.
