Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups cooked and cooled quinoa
- 1 cup baked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 4 scallions (white & light green parts), chopped plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 T extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Romaine or butter lettuce leaves, for serving
- Avocado for serving
- Sriracha Aioli from Terrapin Ridge for serving
- In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, sweet potato, scallions, cilantro, salt and pepper. Stir together until thoroughly combined. Taste for salt, you may want to add a pinch more.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 9 portions for small patties or 4 portions for large ones. Form into ¾-inch thick patties, pressing together tightly so they hold their shape.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. (You may need to add a little more oil.)
- Serve the patties in lettuce leaves and top with Sriracha Aioli and avocado and sprinkle with scallions and pepper.
