Sweet Potato and Lentil Patties

Sweet Potato and Lentil Patties
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
  • 1 head broccoli, broken into small florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 5 ounces spinach
  • 3 ounces shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable seasoning (such as La Grille®)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying, divided


  1. Combine 1 1/2 cup water and lentils in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain any excess water.
  2. Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  3. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Pour off any excess cooking liquid from the skillet.
  5. Combine lentils, sweet potatoes, broccoli, onion and spinach mixture, Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, and garlic in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
  6. Whisk eggs, flour, vegetable seasoning, and black pepper into a smooth paste in another bowl. Mix paste into sweet potato mixture. Shape into patties.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties, working in batches, until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.
