Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flax meal
2 sweet potatoes, cubed
1 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ cup flour
1 cup bread crumbs

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine water and flax meal, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan bring 6 cups (1 ½ L) of water to a boil, then add sweet potatoes. Cook until they are tender, about 10 minutes, then drain.

  • Take about 1 tablespoon worth of mixture and form it into a nugget with your hands.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
  • Or, pan fry with a small drizzle of oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
