  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or alternative)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • a pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • mixed greens
  • romaine
  • spinach
  • kale
  • avocado
  • red onion
  • tomatoes
  • pickles
  • bell peppers
  • shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel about 2 medium to large sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender and slightly caramelized. Alternatively, you can boil them until tender.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  5. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the roasted sweet potatoes until smooth.
  6. To the mashed sweet potatoes, add ½ cup all-purpose flour (or your chosen alternative), ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 large egg (or flax egg), 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, a pinch of cayenne (optional), ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to form into patties but still slightly sticky.
  8. Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and gently form them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.
  9. For best results, place the formed patties on a plate and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes.
  10. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  11. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the sweet potato patties into the skillet. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  12. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Alternatively, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  14. While the patties are cooking, prepare your bowl components: wash and chop your greens, slice your avocado, red onion, tomatoes, and pickles.
  15. Once the patties are cooked, place a generous bed of fresh greens at the bottom of each bowl.
  16. Top the greens with a warm sweet potato patty.
  17. Arrange your chosen toppings around the patty.
  18. Finish with a drizzle of your favorite dressing or sauce.
