ingredients
- 1 8 ounce sweet potato, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulated garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (for less heat, sub 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil, divided
- mayonnaise, optional, for serving
- avocado slices, for serving
- sprouts, (optional, for garnish)
Method
Step 1
Put sweet potato chunks it in the food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it has the consistency finer than rice. You should have 2 cups of “rice.” Transfer the sweet potato rice to a large bowl.
Step 2
Add the eggs, almond flour, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar, spices, salt and green onion to the sweet potato mixture and combine well.
Step 3
Heat 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup of the mixture onto the hot pan and press down lightly to flatten. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat until you've used up the entire mixture, adding additional oil as needed.
Step 4
Serve with avocado-based mayonnaise and optional mashed avocado on top.
