Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Peel and grate the sweet potato using a box grater or food processor.
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, grated sweet potato, chopped onion, garlic, egg, almond flour, coconut flour, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties about the size of your palm and approximately 2 cm thick. You should have around 8-10 croquettes.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each croquette for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
