Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

For the Patties:

  • 1 medium sweet potato (We love using a Bako Single Sweets Potato for easy steaming)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion of your choice, (red, yellow, white, or green onions)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg — see vegan instructions above)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (about 1 clove)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray

For the Whipped Feta Dip:

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet or air fryer basket with parchment paper.
  • Steam the Sweet Potato: Pierce a medium sweet potato a few times with a fork and microwave for 5-7 minutes, or until fork-tender, then let it cool before mashing. You should end up with about 1 cup mashed.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, breadcrumbs, onion, feta cheese, egg, cilantro, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Scoop out the mixture and form into small patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray both sides of the patties with olive oil spray.
  • Oven Instructions: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Be sure to flip halfway through for even cooking.
  • Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3-4 minutes. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, until golden and crispy. Be sure to flip halfway through for even cooking.
  • While patties are cooking, blend all whipped feta ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  • Let the patties cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with whipped feta dip and a drizzle of olive oil on top, if desired.
