Sweet Potato Cakes Recipe
Description
Sweet Potato Cakes Recipe uses shredded sweet potatoes combined with almond flour and an egg to bind the mixture. Seasonings like onion powder, dried oregano, chipotle pepper, and salt add a smoky, savory profile. After mixing, the batter is portioned into uniform patties that are pressed to uniform thickness and placed on a parchment-lined, oiled baking sheet.
Baked at 425°F, the cakes develop a crisp exterior while remaining soft inside. Flipping halfway ensures even browning on both sides. The result is a balanced texture with a subtle spicy note from the chipotle pepper.
These cakes pair well with creamy dressings or as a complement to main dishes needing a flavorful vegetable side. Serving suggestions include pairing with a garlic lime vinaigrette as noted in the recipe notes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet potato from 2 XL sweet potatoes, shredded
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the oil over the surface of the parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and shred them with a cheese grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, egg, and all seasonings. Mix well to coat the shredded potatoes.
- Use a 1/3 cup scoop to portion out eight patties. Place them on the baking sheet with room to spread. Then use the bottom of the measuring cup (or a drinking glass) to press the sweet potato cakes into 1/3-1/2 inch patties.
- Use the oil brush to dab the extra oil on the baking sheet on the tops of the sweet potato cakes.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then flip and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Try serving the sweet potato cakes with a creamy garlic lime vinaigrette for added flavor contrast.
