Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Grease a baking sheet.

  3. Puncture sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Cook in microwave on High for 5 minutes. Flip and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 3 to 5 more minutes, cool. Peel skin off and cut sweet potatoes into large chunks.

  4. Mash garbanzo beans with a fork or potato masher in a bowl.

  5. Stir sweet potatoes and egg into mashed garbanzo beans to form a smooth consistency.

  6. Stir 2 cups flour, garlic powder, cumin, and coriander into sweet potato mixture to form a cookie dough consistency. Adjust with more flour if necessary.

  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten balls into patties.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes.
