Sweet potato, Black bean & Quinoa patties

These patties are such a delicious source of plant protein and good carbs to add to any meal! I added half the batch to the freezer and pop in the oven when I want it! So handy to have these on hand 🖐 you will need:
+ 1 tin black beans drained
+ 2 medium size sweet potato baked whole (about 45 mins) and flesh scooped out + 1/3 cup raw quinoa cooked + 1 cup rolled oats + 1/2 red onion
+ 1 tsp ground cumin
+ 1 tsp ground paprika
+ 2 cloves garlic + splash salt and pepper
Method:
Step 1: pierce fork into sweet potatoes and add to oven whole and bake for 45 mins or until soft on approx 180 degrees
Step 2: add quinoa to a pot and add 2/3 cup of water, simmer until fluffy, should take about 15 mins
Step 3: Add rolled oats with spices in food processor or mixer until broken down and fine
Step 4: add the sweet potato flesh, onion, black beans, garlic to your food processor and mix it all together until is broken down but not purée’d.
Step 5: sit mixture in fridge for about 20 mins to set
Step 6: make mixture into patties by getting a heaped tbs, roll with hands and flatten on pan with some olive oil + cook until crispy, about 5 mins each side! The smaller and more compact the better and more they will stay together
Enjoy 😘😘😘
