Toddler’s Tray – Sweet Potatoe and Lentil Patties

This is one of my favorite recipes. These patties are tasty, healthy, freeze well, and are easy for a toddler to eat unassisted. Use them as a snack, as a side-dish or even as a main-course. They have great nutritional value. And they are delicious! – I eat them too, but add salt to mine.

Ingredients

• 4-5 sweet potatoes
• 2,5 dl lentils (uncooked) or ca. 5 dl cooked
• 1 egg
• 2-3 dl flour
• 1 dl Olive oil
• 1-2 tsp dried ground coriander
• 1-2 tsp paprika
• Fresh coriander to taste (the sky is the limit!)
• Optional: 2 dl chickpeas
• Optional: Orange zest and juice

How to

• Heat oven to 180c
• Rinse the lentils in water, and boil them for approx 15 min. in a pot. Boil sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container covered with water, for approx 8 min.
• Leave lentils and sweet potatoes to cool a bit in a bowl.
• Rinse and chop coriander. Add coriander together with olive oil, egg and spices to the bowl (optional: add pre-boiled chickpeas and/or orange-zest with the rest), and stir with a fork or similar. Add flour until the consistency is coherent and sticky.
• Use a spoon or your hands to make cookie-sized patties on a sheet of baking-paper.
• Bake for approx 25 min.
• Eat, save, freeze and store!
