Ingredients
- 1 + ½ cup dried sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3-4 cups avocado oil or coconut oil (for frying)
- ½ cup coconut cream
Instructions
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then steam or boil them until they are soft and easily mashable. Let them cool.
- Make the Falafel Mixture:
- In a food processor, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, dill, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and baking soda.
- Process the mixture until it forms a uniform, slightly coarse dough.
- Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small falafel balls.
- In a deep pan, heat the avocado or coconut oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the falafel balls into the hot oil, frying them until they are golden brown on all sides. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the falafel balls are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Drizzle the falafel with coconut cream instead of tahini sauce before serving.
