Sweet Potato Falafel Flatbreads recipe by Cherrypick

Made using chickpea flour (also known as gram flour), these falafels are naturally gluten free and high in protein.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C Fan. Cook the sweet potato for 12-15 minutes in a pot of boiling water until soft, then drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine chickpea flour, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 crushed garlic clove, 15g chopped coriander and half the lemon zest. Make sure everything is evenly distributed then add the cooked sweet potato and mash everything together with a fork. Season to taste.

Step 3

With wet hands, divide the mixture into 12 and roll into balls. Put onto an oiled baking tray and into your oven for 20-25 minutes, until firm on the outside and lightly golden.

Step 4

While the falafels are baking, peel ribbons of carrot using a vegetable peeler and add to a large bowl with the pomegranate and shredded spinach. Mix in the remaining 15g chopped coriander and 1 tsp cumin seeds.

Step 5

Whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, honey, yoghurt, remaining crushed garlic clove and 2 tbsp olive oil to create your yoghurt dressing. Season to taste, then dress the salad with as much dressing as you fancy. Any leftover yoghurt dressing can be served in a small bowl at the table for those who would like some more.

Step 6

Warm the flatbreads in the oven for a few minutes just before the sweet potato falafels are ready. Top each flatbread with a handful of salad, three falafels and 1/2 tsp harissa (only for those who like things spicy) and enjoy!
