Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the black beans and mash them slightly, leaving some whole beans for texture.
-
Add the breadcrumbs, shredded coconut, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the sweet potato and bean mixture. Mix well until combined.
-
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the Caribbean Sweet Potato Patties warm, garnished with fresh lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrusy flavor.
