Steps:

  • INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 400º. Scrub sweet potato and puncture several times with a knife. Bake until easily pierced with a knife, about 35 minutes. You want it to be slightly firmer than if you were going to eat it like a baked potato. Remove from oven, cut open and allow to cool. Scoop sweet potato insides into food processor bowl and add onion, garlic, chickpeas, panko, chickpea flour, cilantro, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Pulse until chickpeas are well chopped and ingredients are incorporated, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator, uncover and shape sweet potato mixture into 4 patties. Coat a large skillet with remaining oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches if needed, place patties into skillet and cook until browned on bottoms, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on opposite sides, about 5 minutes more. Serve with your favorite burger/falafel toppings. I recommend some hummus or maple tahini dressing.
