Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 1 cup Blanched almond flour
• 0.5 cup Ground almonds
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Stir in the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Using a spoon or your hands, take a small amount of the mashed sweet potato mixture and shape it into a croquette (oblong ball shape). Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Gently dip each croquette into the egg and almond flour mixture, making sure it's completely coated, then roll it in the ground almonds, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.

Step 7

Place each coated croquette on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potato mixture.

Step 8

Drizzle or lightly brush each croquette with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croquettes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 10

Let them cool slightly before serving. Serve as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
