Lime Drenched Sweet Potato Black Bean Patties are a flavorful and nutritious dish perfect for light meals or as a side for BBQs. The blend of sweet potatoes, black beans, and fresh lime creates a vibrant taste that is both refreshing and satisfying.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes

Black Beans

  • 1 can (15 oz) Black Beans, rinsed and drained

Lime Juice

  • Juice of 1 fresh Lime

Cilantro

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Garlic

  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Mash the Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the cooled sweet potatoes with a fork until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.
  3. Mix in the Beans: Add the rinsed black beans to the mashed sweet potatoes and gently mix to combine. You want to keep some beans whole for texture.
  4. Seasoning Time: Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, then add the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Form the Patties: Stir in the breadcrumbs until the mixture is sticky enough to hold its shape, then form into patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Do Not Overcook: Ensure sweet potatoes are just tender to retain their flavor and texture.
  • Chill Before Cooking: If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before forming patties.
  • Use a Nonstick Skillet: This helps prevent sticking and ensures a crispy surface.
  • Double the Recipe: Make a bigger batch and freeze half for quick meals later.
