Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and finely grate 2 medium sweet potatoes, which should yield approximately 600 grams, into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add 0.5 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley, 0.25 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint, 0.25 cup of finely diced red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 0.5 teaspoon of sweet paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt to the grated sweet potato mixture.

3. 3

   Thoroughly mix in 0.5 cup of chickpea flour until a cohesive dough forms, adding up to 2 additional tablespoons of water if the mixture appears too dry.

4. 4

   Form the mixture into small, flattened patties, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick, using your hands.

5. 5

   Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, then flash-fry the sweet potato bites for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   For the Herbed Tahini Drizzle, whisk together 0.25 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sumac, and a pinch of salt with 3 tablespoons of cold water until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
