These vegan and vegetarian sweet potato cakes are the perfect side dish for any meal. The sweet yet savory combination of sweet potato, lime, and avocado makes them a delectable treat. The cakes are easy to make and require only a few simple ingredients. The texture of the cakes is soft and light, while the citrus and avocado provide a delicious contrast in flavor.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and mashed

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro. Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the flour mixture and stir until combined.

Form the sweet potato mixture into 8-10 small patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes before serving.

To serve, top each cake with a dollop of mashed avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
