Baked Sweet Potato and Tuna Patties
these baked sweet potato and tuna patties I found my go-to healthy dinner for busy days. They are packed with healthy ingredients and tons of flavor.
Servings: 8 patties
Ingredients
- 2 small cans of tuna or one big can
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 small onion
- ½ medium bell pepper
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- Pinch of salt and pepper
For the yogurt sauce
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 1 lemon
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Bake the sweet potatoes --- with or without skin--- for 15 minutes until they are soft. Smash them to make a pureé and let it cool.
- Cut the onion and the bell pepper into tiny pieces.
- In a big bowl mix the mashed sweet potatoes, the tuna --- drained ---, the onion, the pepper, the chives, the parsley, the breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until you get a homogeneous paste.
- Heat a nonstick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron to cook the patties. Make small balls and place them in the pan while gently pushing them to form a disc. Cook them for 10 minutes each side over medium heat.
- Prepare the yogurt sauce mixing all the ingredients.
- Serve the patties and use a tsp of sauce over each patty. Sprinkle with parsley or chives.
