Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 50 grams Ground almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the boiled sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth and let cool slightly.
Stir in olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into the mashed sweet potatoes.
Add the egg and mix well to combine. If the mixture is too wet, you can add a bit of gluten-free breadcrumbs to help bind it.
In a shallow dish, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, chopped fresh parsley, and ground almonds.
Shape the sweet potato mixture into small patties or logs, about 3 inches long.
Roll each croquette in the almond breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated croquettes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
