• 1 large sweet potato
• 2 garlic cloves
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• A handful of parsley
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt
• Chili powder
• Sesame seeds

Materials

Preparation

• Steam the sweet potato: peel it (or scrub it if it's organic), cut it into cubes, and place it in a steamer for 15 minutes.
  
  Once cooked, mash it with a fork.
• In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, the peeled and finely chopped garlic, the cumin, the chopped parsley, the lemon juice, the salt, and the chili powder.
  
  Add the sweet potato and mix by kneading with your hands. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. If needed, add a little water.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  
  Form balls from the dough, roll them in sesame seeds, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  
  Bake for 20 minutes, turning the falafels halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• And there you have it, your gluten-free and vegan sweet potato falafels are ready!
