Sweet Potato Quinoa Balls
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 pinch Paprika
- 1 pinch Dried cayenne
- 1 dash Salt and pepper
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 1/2 cup Water
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large Egg (maybe 2)
- Preheat oven to 400F Fahrenheit.
- Cut sweet potato into small cubes and spread out on baking sheet.
- Drizzle with coconut oil, paprika, cayenne, and salt and pepper.
- Bake potatoes for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are fairly soft.
- While potatoes are baking, cook the quinoa in water.
- Bring to a boil and then summer until all of the water is absorbed (10-20 minutes)
- Chop onions into small pieces.
- Once quinoa and potatoes are done, saute the onions in a large frying pan.
- Stir in the sweet potatoes.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until the sweet potatoes begin to break down.
- Then, stir in the quinoa and mash together while cooking.
- Once everything begins to stick together, place mixture in a bowl and refrigerate until it is cool enough to handle.
- Once cool, roll mixture into balls (whatever size you like).
- You can either eat these now, or freeze them.
- I think they are easier to fry once they are frozen.
- When you are ready to serve them, roll the balls in an egg wash and cover cook over medium heat.
- Be sure to cook each side.
- Serve alone or with a sauce of your choice.
- I like a roasted vegetable tomato sauce, but BBQ sauce or mustard would be really good.
