Ingredients
- 500 grams Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 100 grams Almond flour

- 50 grams Ground almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the boiled sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth and let cool slightly.
Step 4
Stir in olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into the mashed sweet potatoes.
Step 5
Add the egg and mix well to combine. If the mixture is too wet, you can add a bit of gluten-free breadcrumbs to help bind it.
Step 6
In a shallow dish, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, chopped fresh parsley, and ground almonds.
Step 7
Shape the sweet potato mixture into small patties or logs, about 3 inches long.
Step 8
Roll each croquette in the almond breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 9
Place the coated croquettes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
