Eggplant and sweet potato patties are a delightful and nutritious vegetarian dish that's perfect for any meal. Combining the creamy texture of sweet potatoes with the savory flavor of eggplant, these patties are enhanced with aromatic garlic, scallions, and fresh basil. The addition of feta cheese adds a tangy depth, while bread crumbs and an egg bind the ingredients together for a perfect patty that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Roast the sweet potatoes and eggplant ahead of time to speed up the cooking process and enhance their flavors.
- Make sure to drain any excess moisture from the cooked eggplant to prevent the patties from becoming too soggy.
- If the mixture is too wet to form patties, add additional bread crumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before forming patties. This helps make the mixture easier to handle and the patties more likely to hold their shape during cooking.
- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
- For an extra crispy texture, lightly coat the formed patties in additional bread crumbs before frying.
- Serve the patties with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for a refreshing contrast.
These eggplant and sweet potato patties are a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side. Whether enjoyed on their own, in a sandwich, or with a side salad, they are sure to impress with their rich flavors and delightful texture. Enjoy your meal!
