Sweet potato falafel wraps

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Quick Meals Salads
Traditional falafel is made from chickpeas, but adding sweet potato opens a new dimension: the inside of the balls becomes softer, creamier, and the sweet taste plays beautifully with the earthiness of cumin. This wrap is a complete meal in your hand.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Food processor
  • Frying pan

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten (if using wheat flour/wraps)
⚠️ Sesame (tahini)

Instructions

1 ✓

Put the chickpeas in a food processor with the spices (garlic, coriander, cumin, parsley), and pulse until chunky (do not purée completely!).

Tip: The chunky texture gives the falafel its characteristic bite.
2 ✓

Mix in the mashed sweet potato and flour by hand. Knead into a mouldable mixture.

Tip: The sweet potato plays the role of the binder here (instead of egg).
3 ✓

With wet hands, form walnut-sized balls or patties.

Tip: The patty shape is easier to fry in a pan with little oil than the ball.
4 ✓

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until they get a dark brown crust.

5 ✓

Mix the tahini with a little water, salt, lemon juice until it reaches dressing consistency.

Tip: Tahini mixed with water thickens first, then lightens and becomes creamy.
6 ✓

Warm the tortillas, fill with vegetables, the fried balls, and drizzle with the sauce.

Recipe FAQ

The falafel falls apart when frying?
The mixture might have been too wet. Add a little more flour, or rest in the fridge before shaping so the starch sets.
