Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F and bake sweet potato for 45 minutes or until tender. Set aside and cool. Peel and place in a blender or food processor with chickpeas. Lower the oven to 350\u00b0F. (If you don’t have much time, microwave your sweet potato. Poke holes in the sweet potato, and cook on high for 7-8 minutes.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While the sweet potato is cooling, saut\u00e9e the onion in 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. When water evaporates and pan begins to brown, add a little more water. Cook onions until translucent. Place sweet potato and chickpeas in food processor and process until almost smooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In a medium bowl add sweet potato mixture, saut\u00e9ed onions, cilantro or parsley, oat flour, spices and salt. If consistency is too moist to shape into patties, add bread crumbs (about \u00bc- \u00bd cup).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Shape into golf ball-sized balls and press flat to about \u00bd inch thickness. Place on parchment paper covered sheet pan or cookie sheet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bake for 20 minutes, flipping patties after 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

To assemble, place patties in lettuce leaf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":4863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2704],"yst_prominent_words":[1769,1209,1472,1322,697],"class_list":["post-20513","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-entrees","cp_recipe_cuisine-asian","cp_recipe_cooking_method-baking","cp_recipe_cooking_method-frying","cp_recipe_cooking_method-sauteing","cp_recipe_tags-diabetes","cp_recipe_tags-low-fat","cp_recipe_tags-nut-free","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos","cp_recipe_tags-soy-free"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20513"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
