Sweet Potato Pecan Patties image

From Cooking Light, these were suggested being served as veggie burgers with whole-grain buns and Boston lettuce leaves with chili sauce. I think they're too carb-rich for that but would make a nice starch side to have with greens and another protein like tofu or seitan. I guess that 3 or so sweet potatoes would be enough?

Time 45m

Yield 6 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 medium)
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves (1 1/2 teaspoons minced)
1 cup regular oats
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 chopped pecans, preferably toasted
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Cover them with water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until somewhat tender, then drain.
  • Coat a large nonstick skillet/frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add chopped onion and garlic to the pan, sautee 5 minutes or until tender.
  • Place sweet potato, chopped onion mixture, oats, and spices in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • Place the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the pecans. Divide into 6 equal portions, shaping each inch a 1/2-inch thick patty.
  • Wipe the frying pan dry with a paper towel. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add 3 patties to the pan, cook 4 minutes or until browned. Carefully turn the patties over and cook the other side for 3 minutes or until browned.
  • Repeat with the remaining oil and uncooked patties.
