These purple sweet potato patties are healthy, delicious and versatile. They are vegan friendly, gluten, grain, dairy free and paleo. They are great to make in a big batch and use for meal prep purposes, for weekday lunches or just have them as a snack.

Do you end up never know what to eat for lunch or what to have as a snack during the week? I do! That’s why I love to make different kind of patties. They are great to use when making lunch during the week, or when you need a healthy and delicious snack. The best thing is that you can vary patties endlessly by using vegetables you have at home and changing the seasoning. So my latest patties experiment are these purple sweet potato patties covered in sesame seeds. First of all, the color… just looking at them makes me happy! Secondly, sweet potatoes are so creamy and make the perfect base for making patties. They have a really great texture which makes it really easy to form and bake patties, not risking falling apart. They can be made using either regular egg, flax or chia egg depending on food preferences and allergies. These patties are delicious both cold and warm. When reheating mine I love to fry them in the pan so that they get really crunchy and golden on the outside.
A few ways of serving these patties:
- Serve them with fried vegetables
- Make a salad out of them
- Make a burrito or wrap
- Have them as a “on-the-go” snack
- Eat them with some cottage cheese
- Dip them in tahini or a fresh herby sauce
- Just eat them on their own
