Chickpea and sweet potato cakes

Chickpea and sweet potato cakes are a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that is perfect for any meal. These cakes are made with a combination of chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and a variety of spices that give them a unique and flavorful taste.

To make these cakes, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying


To start, combine the chickpeas, sweet potatoes, breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Next, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once the cakes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to your favorite meal.
These chickpea and sweet potato cakes are a great source of protein and fiber, making them a healthy and satisfying meal option. They have a crispy exterior and a soft and flavorful interior that is sure to please your taste buds.
