Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in thyme and cook for about 30 seconds, transfer mixture to a large bowl.

  2. Stir sweet potatoes, quinoa, sea salt, and black pepper together with onion mixture until well-combined. Divide mixture into golf-ball size balls and press into patties.

  3. Heat coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Recipe Yield

12 patties

Recipe Note

These are kind of like a twist on falafel. Goes well in pita bread. Enjoy with a generous sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves and some finishing salt! You can use vegan butter instead of coconut oil, if desired.
